Three more items from Freereg

Thomas Sheldon christened 14/1/1844 St. Martin Tipton mother Anne Sheldon
If father died in 1841 this would explain why only Anne is on christening Record and father is probably not Abraham Sheldon

Abraham Sheldon buried 1/9/1841 West Bromwich All Saints

Matilda Sheldon christened Tipton 1939 Father Abraham & Mother Anne Sheldon

This is Thomas Smith father of Rosanna and Anne Smith

For NL

name Manasseh. Means "causing to forget" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament this is the name of the oldest son of Joseph and Asenath and the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
