== Links to the KellyGang ==
'''Early Years''' I was born in 1860 and grew up with my brother Aaron and Joe Byrne. We went to school together '''Stringybark Creek Murders 26/10/1878''' We were not involved with the KellyGang at this stage '''Sebastopol Cavalcade''' '''7/11/1878''' Aaron had his first meeting with the senior police around this time
I gave evidence for Aaron Sherritt at his trial over "Charlie" ([[Ovens & Murray Advertiser (9)|OMA29/7/79]])
'''Second Cave Party 12/1879-4/1880''' [[Dan Kelly|Dan Kelly]] visited me in about November ([[Royal Commission report 9/8/1881|RC15216]])
The family was not happy when [[Aaron Sherritt|Aaron]] married his wife but I thought that [[Ellen Sherritt|Belle]] was a nice enough girl and I used to visit them from time to time. Especially after Aaron started to get threatening letters. I know that [[Anne and John Sherritt Snr|Mum]] did not visit Aaron and Belle and I doubt if to many other members of the family cared much for the marriage. You know Belle was a catholic ([[Royal Commission report day 37 page 12|RC13227]])
I knew Const [[Const W Duross|Duross]] ([[Royal Commission report day 15 page 14|RC3808]])
'''Death of Aaron Sherritt'''
I was not involved '''Inquest into death of Aaron Sherritt'''
I gave evidence at Aaron's inquest ([[The Melbourne Daily Telegragh (7)|DailyTelegraph29/6/80]])([[The Last of the Bushrangers Chapter 13 page 7|FH]])
'''Later'''
Com [[Standish|Standish]] gave my brother John and I orders to join the police. ([[Royal Commission report day 44 page 1|RC15216]])
Although Sup Hare had not met me or my brother [[John Sherritt Jnr|John]] [[William Sherritt|Aaron]]'s death, he thought that unless the authorities showed some consideration for the families of those who had assisted the police, on any future occasion they would have the greatest difficulty in getting men to work for the police.
See my [[John Sherritt Jnr|brother]] for the story of what happened([[Royal Commission report day 9 page 2|RC1598]])
See also ([[Royal Commission report day 48 page 18|RC16608]]) ([[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (42)|JJK]])
'''Royal Commission''' I did not give evidence to the Royal Commission '''Later Years''' I was sentenced to a term of seven years' imprisonment for perjury. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 20/8/1881|Argus28/8/81]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 22/2/1882 (4)|Argus22/2/82]])
