Sea-faring Sherrits of Montrose

[Gyp]

Hi, my gg/grandfather was Robert Sheritt he was lost at sea during a storm when the sailing vessel Star was lost east of Aberdeen in November 1982. He was married to Mary Ann Anderson in 1876 in Montrose and they had two daughters Isabella Jane and Christina, Mary remarried and moved to Dundee. Roberts father was called James and he was also a seaman his mother was Isabella nee Kennedy i would appreciate any info re the Sherrit/Kennedy families as this has become a dead end (pardon the pun).

Hi

How old was Robert on his marriage cert?  The 1881 census has an entry which could be him but it's transcribed as Sherril born 1855 Montrose and he was a seaman onboard a vessel docked in Fife

There is another 1881 entry for a James & Isabella Sherrit living in Angus but they had daughters Marjory 5 Barbara 3 and Isabella 1

James was not a seaman - he was a Foresters foreman

Hi,
on Roberts wedding cert. 8/12/1876 his age is recorded as 22 and address as 18 Mill St. his father James is recorded  as a merchant seaman (deceased). Robert is recorded in the 1881 census in Buckhaven as 27 yrs. So far i have been unable to find any record of his birth or of a marriage for his parents.
ps thanks for your replies
