Hi Dorothy:

I only know of one Mary Ann as a daughter of William Sterry, and she's the same one as the previous post refers to. She was the first child of William (born about 1794) and Ann nee Shaw (born 14/11/1793).

I can only go back one further generation of Sterry in this line, in that William was the first child of Richard Sterry (born Awre about 1763) and Ann Toomey.

However, I have seen a tree going four generations up from Ann Shaw, to Edward Hawkins and his wife Ann Bedoes who were married on 12 May 1701 and were both from Blakeney.

Another child of William and Ann Sterry was Richard Sterry (1823-1894) whose third wife was Elza nee Jay. She was my great-great-grandmother (my father's mother's father's mother.)

If you haven't been there yet, the deepest and richest mine that I know of for information on the Sterrys (who abounded in the Forest and to some extent still do) is www.sterryworldwide.com.
