Thanks again, Slowhands.

I think we've already captured most if not all of those. The golden, nay platinum, egg would be some ancestry of the earliest Richard Sterry shown, i.e. born about 1762, married at Minsterworth 1794, buried at Awre 1831. We have been unable to state his birthplace or (except by "guesstimate") his birth year or date.

50-odd years ago I could count the best part of 30 relatives in or just outside Lydney including a fair clutch of Sterrys/Sterreys, but I didn't then know of any up the Severn or across the Forest. However, the fairly short distance between Minsterworth and Longhope/Ruardean points to the reasonable possibility of a link between our man Richard and the very early Sterrys in the latter parishes.
