Maria Ann Sherwood was my great great grandmother and was born in Peasmarsh in 1799 and died at Ryde in Sydney NSW Australia in 1870.
Does anyone have any information about her or her family / descendants
I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can give.

    Hello Max. I hope you are still interested in the Sherwood family? I am descended from Sarah Sherwood born 1810 whose parents were John and Sarah Sherwood of Peasmarsh. I have been trying for years to find out more information about this family. I have a hunch that John Sherwood was previously married to Hannah (nee Wright)the mother of Ann Maria Sherwood / Granny Smith. This would make my Sarah her half-sister. If you are interested in this theory I will expand with dates etc.

    Hi Melanie,
    Maria Ann Sherwood was my great great grandmother and John Sherwood was her father and he was married to Hannah Wright. Maria was born in 1799 although some records say 1800.

    I am excited to hear from you.
    Please tell me more
    Best Wishes

    I have an ancestor named Hannah Auton nee Sherwood(born 25 May 1808) who married Thamas Playford in c1830 and came to Australia on the ‘Palmyra’ and arrived in Sydney on 1 Oct 1836. I wonder if you know if she may have been kin to Maria Ann Sherwood?

    Could you please reply to me at my email which is: [reveal email]

    Hopefully and with best wishers,
    Michael Barry.

    Greetings Max,

    This is John Spurway; we might have had contact before. That headline about “the last direct descendant of Granny Smith” was nonsense, as you will be aware. Edna Spurway was the last great-granddaughter of GS; I gave the eulogy at her funeral in 2011. There are thousands of direct descendants, including you, I think …

    I am Sue Haigh’s cousin and our grandmother was Essie Adel Smith, a granddaughter of Granny Smith. I live at Pymble, not far for Granny’s farm at Eastwood and I owned a business at North Ryde not far from it.
    Best Wishes,
