Hi J,

Welcome to Rootschat!

If you let us know what you'd like to know, or need help with, that'll help us to get started.

It's amazing just how much information that's probably available to you and you don't realise it.

For example, if you are able have a look at any birth, marriage or death certificates for any of your ancestors, there's a wealth of information on them.

I always found the best way forward was to decide exactly which line you want to trace and try to concentrate on that single line. The reason I say try, is because before you know where you are, you'll be scooting off at tangents all over the place. You'll probably end up loving every minute of those tangents but it's easy to get mixed up.

Have you had a look through the beginners section? There's loads of really useful tips on the best ways to get started.

Don't feel afraid to ask questions. We're all here to help!

Hi JSherry

Welcome to RootsChat

According to PNE, Alexander Sherry was born in 1904, Bonnybridge

His position was left-back (Defender)

He signed for PNE in 1929 from the Scottish junior club Denny Hibernian.

Between 1929 - 1931 he made 14 appearances.  His first was at the beginning of the 1929 - 30 season (Sep 18th), away against Bristol City, the result was  2 - 2

After playing 2 games at the beginning of the 1931 - 32 season he left to join the French club, Marseille

Sorry I don't have any more information

Kind regards

Hi Again 

Did you have any details of a death date, Simon?  I could look in my book if not.

I have a possible death for the Alexander P Sherry. 1966, Kilsyth, aged 58.  Not sure if it's correct though. Again, not available to view the full details online.

I've been looking up football facts, I'll leave the genealogy to you 

His middle name had the initial P, I've just found A.P.Sherry, 1929 - 1931, Preston North End  on a football database, you have to pay £5 to look any further.
