Rog added (July 2007): "Rose Pritchard, Clara Sterrey's youngest surviving sister, was born Rosina. Charles and Buller Lewis were sons by her first marriage to Charles Lewis. She later married a Dovey. If she is also Rosanna Mary Pritchard (on the I.G.I.), there was a third marriage to one Henry Robert George Trigg, this being on 9 Aug 1897. She would then have been only 25 years old - which seems to be pushing the envelope somewhat!"

Peter Essex added (July 2007): "William Frank Essex, born 1887, left home in Cheltenham and pitched up in Lydney. We do not know his means of travel, or the date of his arrival, but I think my father said the departure from Cheltenham was at age 16. The story goes that William entered Lydney in much need of a glass of water and came by such refreshment at a house containing Sterrys, which was how he met our grandmother Frances. My embroidery is that he staggered down Highfield Hill, turned right into Albert Street gasping for liquid, was pitied at 29 Albert Street, and lived happily ever after. Ivy Salcombe nee Sterr(e)y was still living at 29 Albert Street in my lifetime".
"... only recently have we detected, through Rog, that in a 1910 directory (also showing H Sterry - thus spelt - at 29 Albert Street) there was a G Essex at 6 High Street, Lydney. The 1891 census gives William Frank Essex and his elder brother George Edmund Essex at home in Cheltenham. But now, from the latest transcriptions on forest-of-dean.net, we have one Leonard George Essex being baptised at Lydney on 20 December 1908, the father being George Edmund Essex. In the absence of another known Essex around that time around Lydney, I hold that 6 High Street contained not only G Essex but also his wife
and son. However, these Essexes are otherwise a mystery to the living, and any traces on them would be welcome ".

Peter Essex further added (Nov 2007) : ""...information from Peter Webb - the great-grandson of Emily Pryer, formerly Essex, nee Hyde. Following the disappearance of William Henry Essex (probably around 1890) his wife, Emily, married Henry Pryer in Cheltenham in 1910, and she is highly likely to be the "Mrs Pryer" in the photo. The Webb tree indicates that Dorothy (aka Dolly) Pryer was the half-sister of William (Frank) Essex".
" Louise Pryer" in the photo may have changed her name to Pryer following her mother's re-marriage but now appears more likely to be Frank Essex's full sister (whom some of us recall as "Auntie Lou in Cheltenham"). The Webb tree confirms that William Frank Essex had such a sister, as well as the brother George mentioned in my addition to the annotation.
Other research (mainly on sterryworldwide.com) has indicated that the elderly woman at the left end of the front row, if indeed Henry Sterry's mother, was called Eliza, nee Jay, and not named Coles at any stage as far as we know".

Ruth Probert (nee Lewis) added (April 2008): I believe the man in the back row - second from left is my grandfather - Charles Lewis - can anyone help with further information to clarify this. My father (deceased) also referred to an uncle 'Buller'. Could this be them? probertfamilyATtiscaliDOTcoDOTuk . The person has indicated that inclusion is
