John Sheldon 1887
« on: Tuesday 18 March 08 09:01 UTC (UK) »
Hi, I am looking for the birth of a John 'Sandy' Sheldon, Manchester United and Liverpool footballer. His birth place has always been given as Clay Cross but I am looking for the date. One source says April Quarter 1887 and another simply 1888, could anyone help please?

Hello,
googling for him does say 1887 and the one indicated by this and birthplace is:

1891  RG12; Piece: 2757; Folio 115; Page 29

Froggatts Row (possibly) Market Street Clay Cross

John Sheldon 42 yrs  coal miner
Sarah 40 yrs
george  20 yrs coal miner
Sidney 19 yrs coal miner
John W 4 yrs
Florance 2 yrs
all born Clay Cross

There is another John Sheldon born 1888 at Tideswell.

Heywood, many thanks for that, much appreciated. I am sure that is the right family, will check it out but I am sure in 1901 they will be in Nuneaton/Bedworth area of Warwickshire following jobs in the coal industry. If not I will come back for the Tideswell details.
