Hi Janet, I'm from the Birse line, Charles Birss/Birse - parents - George (Sherret) Birse and Mary Laurence. I have some information, but would love to learn more. I don't have my information with me, but will look when I get home and maybe we can compare notes. Thanks, Donna -----Original Message----- From: Janet [mailto:wightway@tiscali.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 10:21 AM To: SCT-KINCARDINE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SCT-KINCARDINE] SHERET I have a line of SHERET folk from Arbuthnot commencing with James Sherret b. abt 1766 who was father to George Sherrett b. 16 Oct. 1789 who married Isobel Wright baptised 1 April 1789; they married on 1 July 1810. I cannot relate this line to my Sheret folk who married into my maternal family, except that some of them were included in my Grandmother's hand written notes because she and two of her sisters were sent to live with one of them ca 1900. There has to be a cousin relationship with mine, and it is a brick wall of mine that just will not topple. Four of these Sherretts left Kincardineshire ca 1844 and travelled south to Herefordshire where they took up 800 acres of farming land. Coincidentally, the Sherret who married into my maternal line was born in Sillyflatt Farm, still a working farm today in Glenbervie; they just have to be related. I have extended both lines and validated them with the 1881 census with some interest, and keep chipping away at finding something. Does anyone recognise it?

Hi Janet, I have to ask, do you know a David Sheret? He married a rather close cousin, Helen Forbes Ritchie (b.1918 Kincardine) but I know nothing about David. They may both be still living yet and if so, I'd love to contact them or at least know about them. I believe they may have been in Edinburgh in the 1970's but that is possibly wrong. Hope you know them - have been trying to find them for years.
