Title: Sherrard's of Stradreagh, Limavady
Post by: terrydoo73 on Tuesday 15 July 14 12:12 BST (UK)
I am trying to trace the Sherrard Family of Stradreagh, Limavady.  I have an Elizabeth McIlmoyle who married Robert Sherrah on 27 November 1860 and they had 3 children - John, Robert and Elizabeth.  By 1901 census name had changed to Sherrard and John was married to Annie.  Robert didn't seem to marry.  Annie and John had two children - Robert and Elizabeth.  Robert was born around 1906 or 1907 and Elizabeth Huston was born around 1908 or 1909 going by the 1911 census.  My connection is through the McIlmoyle's - Elizabeth would have been my great grandfather's sister.  Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Mary Ann Shirrah who married William Moody on 11th May 1849 in Derramore Pres Church. Her residence was given as Stradreagh and her father was John Shirrah, a farmer. Both were full age. Witnesses were John Sherra [sic] and Samuel Wallac?
