Well, firstly, thankyou for your time searching. This is not my direct Herring family research, it is one of 5 other Herring familys I am researching in Sunderland. I am trying to find early connections, to possibly combine them someday. So I don't really know anything about the Gelderts or Metcalfs.

What I have so far is:

Williamina Herring b1885 d1950 m1908 to John Geldert b1884 d1961
children
Agnes Geldert b1910 Sunderland d1912 Sunderland
Jane Tiscalli Geldert b1913 Sunderland

Johns parents:
William Edward Geldert b1855 Cumberland d1918 USA
Jane Tiscalli Rackstraw b1856 Sunderland d1926 USA
10 other children

BTW, Williamina was probably named after her father William John Herring, he died Aug 1884, accidently fell overboard on the ship "German Emperor" and drowned.

If anybody's interested on more, the tree on ANCESTRY is called HERRING SUNDERLAND IV.

I don't have a Gladys Royal in this tree

Regards,
Chris

That person was me :-)


There is another post about Williamina's father William John Herring born in Dundee, I am searching for his father John, that seems to be pretty difficult
