Hello Clarice,
How exciting! A friend (who is also a distant relative on the Sturch line) told me about your query on this site. So I had to write.
I am also descended from William Sturch and Mary Ann Powell, of Wigginton. It's been a long time since I have found anyone researching this family, but do have "cousins" in Canada and England that I am in touch with regularly.
I visited the Nhill cemetery about 4 years ago, and saw the Sturch graves there, what a marvellous feeling it was to be there.
I am descended from Emma Sturch, who married Arthur Henry James at Nhill in 1890. They had 8 children, Edith Cornelie James being my Grandmother.
I have the Sturch family in Wigginton back to the marriage of Thomas Sturch and Ann Bloxham at Banbury in 1753, but haven't really got any further back on this line, although there was a Thomas Sturch of the 'approximate' right age from Whichford, but have never proved he is ours.
Best wishes from (genie)Val.

Dear Val
My Great Grandmother was Ellen Louisa Sturch whom married Charles Cooper.
Their child Ernest James Cooper was my Grandfather and my father-James Ernest Cooper was born in Nhill 1911and died 2001 Portland.
I have started a tree of the Cooper family and have a photo of Ellen Cooper and not one of Charles Cooper.
I live in Hamilton Victoria which is a good 2 and a 1/2 hour drive to Nhill.
I would love to have a copy of the family tree. I share my work with my Dad's first cousin now aged 80. my other email address is email address removed by moderator not working 2013
Thanks for your replyCheers Clarice
