The Sherwins Of Derbsyhire

 

Mackworth Castle Farm where my relatives lived from abt 1740-1788

This web site forms the basis of my study into the name Sherwin in Derbyshire. On the 1664-70 hearth tax there are Sherwin's in three distinct area's of the county. To the West of Derby in the villages of Rodsley, Edlaston and Boylestone the family's are related to St Ralph Sherwin and descended from his parents John and Constance. In the High Peak area there are family's in Calvar and Winster. Just to the west of Derby there is a family in Draycott, and just below Derby there are two families in Alvaston and Boulton.Taking this as a starting point I have tried to trace the name through the Villages of Derbyshire. Please get in contact if you have any Sherwin relatives from this part of the world.
