I note that Richard & Ann STERRY had a child Mary baptised 3 September 1797 at Minsterworth before having children at Awre.

Many years ago, the then Archivist & Records Agent at Gloucestershire Records Office was looking at my WICKENDEN family of Awre … and checked the for Settlement papers for Awre - mid 18th century onwards - the overseers of the poor were obliged by law to investigate the origins of people who moved into their parish in order to establish who would take responsibility for them if they were unable to support themselves.

The only info she found was

14 August 1811
William COOPER, about 11 years old, the son of Mary WILKINS formerly COOPER, was apprenticed by the parish to Ann WICKENDEN of Awre, housekeeper in order to learn the art of husbandry.' (this Ann W is my x grandmother)

---

Do wonder if this Mary COOPER's marriage at Awre - 24 May 1801 to Thomas WILKS

-----

Also a survey and valuation of Awre parish was made in 1829-39

Etloe tithing
Henry WICKENDEN was the tenant of 9 plots of arable and grassland, 1 orchard plot and a house and garden. Total of 42a

Landowner :….. BLANCHE esq

Etloe Duchy tithing
Henry WICKENDEN was the tenant of 6 plots of arable and grassland - a homestead, house and garden, described as part of Etloe Farm Total of 16a

Landowner - …. BLANCHE esq

Also Land Tax Assessment for Awre etc

So other records in the Gloucester Records Office may solve some of your questions.
