If 1896 is correct then he is on ‘Colin’s tree - found on search all members trees

In 1956, Geoffrey, Mary and May are at the same address.
In 1957, Geoffrey, Mary, May and John A Sheridan are at that address.
In 1958, Geoffrey and Mary, and John A Sheridan, are at the same address, but May is not with them.

Are you sure of Geoffrey's birth date?

Might Sarah have been known as May?

In 1955, a Geoffrey M Sheridan, Mary B Sheridan, and May Sheridan were living at 21 Meiklerig Crescent in the Craigton district of Glasgow.

IF (and PLEASE NOTE this is only a suggestion) that is the correct family, Sarah (May)'s parents were Geoffrey Martin Sheridan and Mary Buchanan Connell.

Marriage:

SHERIDAN
GEOFFREY MARTIN
CONNELL
MARY BUCHANAN
1925
644 / 3 / 430
Calton (Glasgow)

In which case, Geoffrey was born in 1896:

SHERIDAN
GEOFFREY MARTIN
mmn MCMENEMY
M
1896
644 / 6 / 830
St Rollox

He and Mary had a son , also called Geoffrey Martin Sheridan, in 1926, in Dennistoun, which is where Sarah May's birth was registered in 1930.

I see you have Geoffrey and Sarah on your GR tree, and therefore on "Search all member trees".

For our reference:

you say that Sarah was born 1930, Geoffrey born 1880.


Sarah's birth is correct.
However, I don't see any birth record of a Geoffrey Sheridan in 1880 in Glasgow.

Have you looked at Search/ search all members trees? There are pages of Sheridans born in Glasgow.

Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that any of your relatives will see your post here.

Can you give us more information, please?
Were they all born in Glasgow?
Are they still living?
A rough idea of their ages?


Do you know your grandmother's maiden surname?
