THE ANCESTORS of JOHN SHIRT - SHEFFIELD and DERBYSHIRE

I established through the 1851 and 1881 UK Census's that my great great great grandfather was a WILLIAM SHIRT who  was christened in Barlow Derbyshire on 15th September 1811. (IGI Batch No 8317233 Sheet 12 Source Call No 1395570)

Given the small size and rural nature of the village - it is about four miles north west from the Derbyshire town of Chesterfield and the same from the border with Yorkshire, - and the relatively unusual name for the area I am convinced that this is a correct reference to my great great great grandfather's christening at the local Parish Church of St Lawrence's. If that is the case the same reference cites WILLIAM'S father as JOHN SHIRT.
