Hi

There are a couple of Anc. Trees (unsourced, with pointers) that have Randle b. 1880 in them.

Birth/bap about 1750, there are a few on FS with variant names, difficult to pin one down.

Marriage possibility - source, FS:
19 Oct 1771 Joseph Skerret & Elizabeth Minshall, Barthomley, mar.

Death possibility - source, popular BI:
5 March 1785 Joseph Sherratt, Barthomley, St Bertoline, bur.

Hope you can get something from this.

Geoff

Hi

That was the main info re Joseph and Elizabeth.

There appears to be 3 children:
John 1771 - 1851, m. Mary Cope 1792 unsourced, St Michael, Coppenhall, d. Crewe 1853 (82y).
Ellen 1778 - X, bap 26 Jul 1778 Haslington unsourced.
Randle 1780 - X, bap 9 Jul 1780 Haslington unsourced.

Not much I'm afraid.

Hi astwood...seems the name Skerratt goes back a long way in that area on above link....also i have a feeling the Skerratts may have Romany links(what family didnt)

Also on Genes there is a Randall Skerratt Forsyth

Hope you are well.........Lee
