First post so here goes... Third great grandfather John Sherrard dob 14 April 1827 in Templepatrick Co Antrim. Married Margaret Brookmire 12 July 1850 in Carmoney Church of Ireland in Newtownabbey. His father or grandfather was named James Sherrard and lived in Belfast at the time of his death. That is all I know of his family. John came to live in Pennsylvania US and later in the state of Missouri. I have family history to share from the point of the move to the US. Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for responding and for sending along the information. I will study the Sherrard family history with care. To answer your question, my John Sherrard died 4 Jan 1917. The possibility of finding his father as James is wonderful. I also have found the name of Robert as a grandfather or uncle?. I had considered it as John's father's name at one point. There are so many Sherrard families that it is so confusing. Again, I thank you for all your time and the information you have sent. Karen

I went looking for his father James in Templepatrick tithes applotment books, http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/antrim/tithe-applotments/templepatrick-parish.php#.V2R1ileoc5R which includes the civil parish of Templepatrick , and Templepatrick. the search didn’t find any Sherrard, or any names of individuals living in Templepatrick.. There are two entries I noticed
Sheerer Samuel Townland: Mullusk Year: 1833
Sheerer, William Townland: Mullusk Year: 1833
I wouldn’t dismiss these entirely keep in case of brick walls and known problems of the books having a high ratio of misspellings or enumerators bias etc
Griffiths valuation http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ useing Carnmoney parish includes
SHERRARD ROBERT ANTRIM CARNMONEY ie BALLYVESEY
SHERRARD DAVID ANTRIM CARNMONEY ie CROGHFERN
and quite a few in Shamkill parish which includes Belfast there are two leslie james sherrrards recorded in that source
