Hi John 

Glad we have helped. It's nice to have some football ancestors to check up on as Simon and I are fanatics 

Most of the info that I've found has been from Scotlands people

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

It's pay to view but reasonable and accurate 

also, the IGI:

www.familysearch.org

and online censuses via such sites as Scotlands People and A*try.

also, I have a publication giving details of all footballers who played in the League 189- -1939.

Simon has other sources 

I'll have another look for the Sherry/Kelly ancestors tomorrow.

Best regards


Gadget (who's ancestors were footballers too!)

Hi John

I'm glad to have been some help

Mary Fishwick married Alexander Patterson Sherry in 1929 (Sep Qtr) at St.Cuthberts Church, Fulwood, Preston.

If you and your father would like to be my guest at a PNE match, you would be very welcome

John Sherry (m to Hannah Kelly) is eluding me at the moment. He said he was born Cadder, LKS but I can't locate him there. It could be that his earliest memories where there.

This is the most likely at the moment on the 1851 Census:

21 Muir Street, Hamilton, Lanarkshire
647 ED 2A Household No. 24

John Sherry, 21, labourer, b. Down, Ireland
Eliza, 30, b. Down, Ireland
John,3, b. Stirlingshire
Margaret, 1, b. Hamilton

Hello John Sherry,

I grew up in Banknock in the 1940s and an (Agnes, I think) Sherry was in my class with our teacher Miss 'Chookie' Morrison at the local Primary School where my father JNK Henderson was headmaster.
An Alex Sherry was in the class about 3 years above me ... and as I recall he was a great footballer .... and I seem to remember that the Sherry family lived along in Coneypark, near Murchies' Farm.
I have a digitised class photo with the Sherry lassie in the front row that you can have if this is your Sherry family.
Cheers,
John Henderson [DDJJAKE on rootschat]

Hi John thanks for your reply I remember reading about your childhood on the net it is great to hear from you I particularly remember you talking about 'bumpy ibrox' the field out the back of your house.

I went to that school for a few years in the early 60's

You are correct about the family staying in Coneypark near murchies farm my parents still live in that area.  The Alex Sherry that was good at football is my uncle Alex he played for Airdrie. He also still lives in the area with with his wife Irene.

My Aunt Margaret is in the picture that you mention and I would like a copy of it if possible

hope to speak soon and thanks again

Thanks to all that have read and assisted with this thread

I visited my dad tonight John Sherry aged about 76 he and my mother Margaret still
live in the area and he loved discussing the roots information.

I also visited My Uncle Alex and aunt Irene they also live in the area and are in their
70's Alex was also very interested. My Uncle Alex is the person that John DJJake mentions
being the good footballer he played for Airdrie son of the Alex Sherry I first mentioned.
