Hello
Thank you for responding. The Margaret Sherrard I am related to must have been born sometime in the 1820's-40's. She was a mother in 1867 and her husband John Moon was born approx. 1824 / died 1904. I know nothing about her family beyond this. Many thanks!

all the best.

Folks for some reason I didn't get notice that any of these posts had been placed on this thread. Thanks very much Mary for the wedding info, which is indeed for three of the daughters of Robert Sherrard. I'm afraid as yet I don't have any parental or sibling info for Robert but the family were Church of Ireland so I suspect they may not be related to the Presbyterian Sherrards mentioned in later posts

Hi - I believe Mina died in 2014 (just short of a 100).
Is this the same Mina Sherrard?
26 Jul 2014 - McCAULEY, WILHELMINA (MINA) (Nee SHERRARD) - July 25, 2014, peacefully, at Ardlough Care Home, in her 106th year, dearly-beloved ...
-
Mina McCauley - yes indeed. Hadn't realized she was 106 when she died! (My mistake)
-
Yes, Mina was my great aunt and the last of the Sherrard girls when she passed away aged 106. Unfortunately Mina wasn't particularly interested in talking about her family history. She had a sister with polio and a brother that was downes syndrome and one of her sisters was an unmarried mother. I suspect she viewed all of these things to be stigmas that should remain in the past and not spoken of.
-
There's a co-incidence: Mina was my great aunt too! Not sure about this but is the Eliza Taylor below the mother of the Sherrard girls before she married Robert ??
Eliza Taylor
Gender: Female
Birth: Circa 1869
County Londonderry, Ireland
Residence: Mar 31 1901
Drumnacanon, Tamlaght, Londonderry, Ireland
Religion: Reformed Presbyterian
Occupation: Farmer's Daughter
Age: 32
Marital status: Not Married
Father: Robert Taylor
Mother: Sarah Taylor
Siblings: Mary Jane Taylor, Margaret Taylor, Sarah Taylor

Thanks for posting. Mina's mum was called Elizabeth Torrens, according to her marriage record to Robert Sherrard at Second Glendermott Presb on Sep 17th 1885. There is a family lore that Elizabeth's daughter, Rebecca Taylor Sherrard was so named to curry favour with someone named Taylor but it didn't amount to anything. Whether that's true or not is lost to history now.
It's a little unusual that five of Robert and Elizabeth's adult children are buried with them in Glendermott Cemetary.
