"Complete"Sheldon,Skeldon,Skelding

[mumbles]

This family are hard to track as name starts as Skelding when Samuel Skelding marries Esther Shaw but reverts gradually to Sheldon then Skeldon after 1871

http://www.bcconnections.tribalpages.co ... =145302121

Need decision as to what to put under as I have added as Skeldon which is name on all records after 1871

Also can anyone find Samuel Skeldon on 1841,1851 and 1861 Census

I think I would add SKELDING for now with a note saying as being recorded by the other names. Unless of course we can find a christening showing other?

All added but it is a right mix up on Census for Round and Skelding

[mumbles]

Just found WW1 record for Ephraim Skeldon son of Joseph Skeldon
He died Flanders 1915
but record notes given 10 days for taking water from ditch with dead horse in it for other soldiers !!

It doesnt help really other than knowing Sarahs maiden name was Skelding. I thought may be his mother but she is showing as a spinster.

Thank you RF
