Aberdeenshire / Re: James Sherriffs Keeper of the Lunatic Asylum

I have a James Shirrefs (b.1757), one of many brothers of James (Doctor of Divinity b.1751), Alexander (Advocate b.1760 d.1823) and Andrew (poet b.1762). I have no idea what his job was though. They seem to have been pretty creative with the spelling so it could be.

If you use GenesReunited, request to access my tree for more information.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm pretty new to this.
regards, Robin

Jean,
I have James Francis Gordon (Shirrefs) as the younger brother of my descendant.
A family member gave me a handwritten tree which has James Francis Gordon Shirrefs (14th of Craig) marrying Barbara Shirrefs Smith (possibly also a cousin as there was a lot of it). There is one child of this marriage on the tree - Gordon Shirrefs (1862-1916) who marries Elizabeth Cree (1870-1934), but the tree extends no further beyond this.

There is a pdf file on the web about the Gordons and the title at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/PSAS_2002/pdf/vol_064/64_096_111.pdf

regards,
an Australian Shirrefs
