SHELDUN - help in finding a birth entry please
« on: Tuesday 27 September 05 16:37 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I am here asking for help again.

I have been trying to find a birth for a RICHARD SHELDUN (SHELDON?).

The 1901 census has him living with his Potter (Patter) grandparents in Gravesend.  The census shows his name as RICHARD SHELDUN born c 1899 in Gravesend.

I have tried to look for him on 1837online but have been experiencing problems with the site.  (I get the same page up for every date I look for).

Any advice or help would be welcomed, as always.

Best wishes,
Blue

Hi CatOne,

I don't think that is him. I found what I think is that William Sheldon (born 1900) living with a different family in Milton Gravesend.  I just can't seem to find the birth for a Richard Sheldon.

Thanks for your help though.

Have you tried searching the Gravesend parish registers for a baptism?

Had a look through the Gravesend Parish Registers earlier, I couldn't find him. I think I will take another look just in case I missed him.

Thanks everyone. Your help is appreciated.

Hi Blue

As this is an old request, just wondering if you managed to sort it out or are you still looking for his birth/baptism?
