Hi
Thank you so much for all the information you have sent.  It has been fascinating to read all the newspaper articles which draw a picture of the life and death of William Sherret, his wife and her consequent 2nd husband! Wow!!!  All of this information began with a census showing Mary Ann living with her in-laws and registered as the wife of a mariner!

My apologies for taking a while to send you my thanks. I know how hard it is to find information as I have been searching for info regarding my Grandfather for years.  The Sherret's are a part of my husband's family tree.  He was amazed!

Thanks again.
