I'm looking for Gawin Herdman, an ironmonger and John Herdman Sherson/Skerton both of Lancaster in the 1841 census. John was born c1801 and died in 1864 so if he can be found in the 1851 and 1861 census that would be great. Gawin had a daughter, Sarah who married in 1841, her address in the parish register is listed as Market Street, Lancaster. Whether she was at home or not I don't know. If anyone can help that would be great, any questions just ask.

Thanks
Samantha

Thanks Maddie, your first post is part of a different branch I am trying to connect with, I'm not sure about the second one as the place of birth isn't right.

Ann, you won't believe how many Gawin Herdman's I've come across in my research, any that you find are bound to be right somewhere. You might be able to help me, I've got baptism records for Sally and Sarah Herdman daughters of Gawin born in Pilling 1772 and 1773 resp. I have married Sarah to William Turner and couldn't find anything on Sally so assumed she had died young and Sarah was born after (given Sally is a form of Sarah). I was looking at a new source and came across a marriage of Sally Herdman to Christopher Sherson/Skerton. Her father was listed as Gawin. In your opinion would you say it was the Sally born 1772?
