YAA Ronda. Thank you so much for this. Christina is buried with her mother in Beechworth. Wonderful thank you, this gives me something to go on now - This is the family which I said never married - now we have a married sister! I knew about Mrs. Cotter but the other one I'll have to look into the marriage. In fact Catherine never came into the equation at all. There were two Sherry families I think in the town. This is wonderful news, thank you so much Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronda Shambrook To: AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com ; Denise Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 6:29 PM Subject: Catherine Sherry - 0bit OMA 27-11-1937 Sherry - The friends of Christina Sherry are respectfully invited to follow her remains to the place of interrment, Beechworth cemetery.
