Margaret, yes thats the one. I have him in the 1841 census at Kirk Langley - name John Sherratt living with his wife Ellen. In 1851 Ellen is on her own in Kirk Langley but says she's a labourers wife so I think this is him- I've looked at all the Johns in Derbyshire who's name could be mis transcribed and this is the only one I can find.

Morridge Staffs

The first bit of the M is very feint.

Apparently it is in the Peak district.

It isn't coming up on the online map I use to find places.

My first thought that it was meant to be Norwich and maybe the accent didn't help, but that isn't in Staffordshire, so I really can't help.

Have you found him in any other census?

If he's the one I'm looking at, the name was transcribed John Shurreull but original could be Sharreatt or Shurreutt. The transcriber has also added a Silas Shurreull but he's actually Titus Lea. Birthplace is Norridge, Staffs, transcribed Norredge.

on the 1851 census I 'think' I've finally found my ancestor, but where it says 'where born' its listed as Stafford, Norridge? Any ideas where this could be? its HO107/2144 folio 110 pg 8 John Sherreatt if anyone can help.
