Hello lal, reading a few of your Sherman posts I realise we must have a fairly close family link. Your Alice Sherman(Sharman) b.1851 is my g.g. grandmother. I have an old tapestry which I believe was worked by her in1864 when she was 13. It reads "Death has been here and borne away A sister from our side Just in the morning As young as we she died Not long ago she did fill her placeAnd stood with us to learn But she has run her mortal race And never can return".  Unfortunately the tapestry is in very poor condtion though the text is not something I would want to display, but its lovely to have as a link to the past. I havn't figured out which of her sisters it refers to - any idea? It was found in an attic at Cut Lane,Aughton.

I also think that her daughters Mary and Martha are the 2 "old sisters" whom my dad remembers as having a shop which he used to walk to for ice cream.
