My ancestor Richard Sherring is shown on your site as running the 'Bull' pub
at Sturminster Newton from 1855 to 1859. Richard was born at Queen Camel,
Somerset in 1827 and died at Sturminster Newton on 12th October 1880. The
1861 and 1871 Census shows him as a Hotelier in Sturminster Newton, but does

died 1908 Sturminster Newton)) is shown as the Hotelier of the 'River Arms'
in the 1881 Census and in the 1901 Census she is shown as the Owner of the
