Any other info
In 1908 Sidney's father, John Sheldon, died. In March quarter 1911 Sidney's mother re-married, becoming Mrs Massey, and was living in Tipton at the time of the 1911 census. Sidney was still in Hanley, working as a Butcher's Errand Boy and living in the household of his employer. There is no evidence that Sidney ever lived in Tipton, but as 'Soldiers Died in the Great War' shows Sidney enlisting in Tipton, he may well have moved here by 1914. His Medal Index Card says that he Died of Wounds, but SDGW says Killed in Action.
