Hello

I am a descendent of Edward Sherliker & ISabella Cook.

I lost the gist of the thread somewhere. Could you let me know what info you are after & I will gladly oblige. I have a mountain of info on teh Sherliker family if you are interested

Regards

Stuart Dawson

Dear Stuart,

Firstly, thank you for this. Do you have any info on the parents/grandparents etc of
Edward Sherliker & ISabella Cook. I think we found that Edward's mother was called Ellen? but no further.
I am descended from their daughter, Isabella, b.1842?, married John Pearson Roberts. She appears to have had at least 5 siblings. Do you have any info on them?
Do you know where the family came from?

With best wishes,

Pip

This is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle isn't it. Your idea of a drink sounds perfect - I will see what I can do and let you know. Thank you so much for your help - I am quite overwhelmed!

That's brilliant, thanks. I looked them up on free cen once I had your info, but I didn't really know where to go from there. Without a name of a husband of Ellen Shirliker I am a bit lost. But what you have given me has really helped.
All the best,

Pip

Hello,
I currently work in the archives in France and have friends who do lots of genealogical research. They have recommended that a good place to start would be local family history societies. Normandy has several departements which include:
Normandie :
 
orne : http://www.cgmp-genealogie.net/
         http://www.orne-perche.com/
         http://www.perche-gouet.net/
 
calvados : http://www.cegecal.org
 
manche : http://www.cgpf35-fougeres.org
 
seine-maritime : http://site.voila.fr/agpb7660/ 
                      http://www.rouengenealogie.org/


I think Saint Germain de Livet is in Calvados.

All the best,

Pip

Wonderful, thank you. That explains why she called herself Blackford on her gravestone, rather than her married name of Robe. Thank you so much - your work has cleared up months of confusion
