coatofarms
The Shirley Coat Of Arms was first found in Derbyshire where they held a family seat that can be traced back to ancient Anglo-Saxon times and before the Norman Conquest in 1066. There is no difference between the Shirley Coat of Arms and the Sherley Coat of Arms.

The family motto is Honor Virtue Praemium which translates to:

"Honor is the reward of virtue."

About The Sherley Family

This website is a collection of data that relates to the history of the Sherley name.

My uncle Jim Sherley started putting together our family tree back in 1988, but due to health issues, he was never able to complete it. It is from this data that he collected that has allowed me to gather the additional information for this site.

Here is a copy of the letter that he sent to me on Feb 28th, 1988, Uncle Jim's Letter.
