I've received an email from one of the members of the message board Gill Newbury, which I've posted below

'My grandfather was at The Sterts on the 1901 census. On the same page is The Sterts Farm and The Sterts House. They are situated at Longstanding on the road to English Bicknor. I met a new 2nd cousin last year who lives next to Sterts Farm and she pointed out a row of 4 or 5 cottages opposite the farm which could well have been referred to as The Sterts.'

As George Medcraft/Medcroft and Rhoda Vaughan were listed as 'Farm Servants' on the Parish Records I think we have solved The Sterts mystery!

Thanks for everyones help.
