George SHELTON eldest son of John SHELTON & Frances FARDELL was baptised in Branston 12 Nov 1841. His siblings were all baptised in Eaton.
George was not listed in the 1841 census and was in the 1851 census as a 9 year old scholar. He is not with his parents in the 1861 census; I am unable to locate him anywhere after the 1851 census.
Assistance gratefully received.

Sorry Solidrock, ;D
Got caught up in other things.
John Fardell SHELTON and Elizabeth married somewhere before 1872. Their children [to date]:
Emma b 1872 Ealing
Fanny 1875 Ealing
Albert 1882 Herne Hill, Surrey
Elizabeth was born about 1846 London, Middlesex, England possibly at Finchley.
In 1881 the couple were living at 81 Milkwood Road, Lambeth, London & Surrey.
John Fardell SHELTON was a Coachman.

On the GRO birth index both Emma and Fanny are listed with mother's maiden name Wilkinson
-
Thanks so much Kay,
So perhaps the girls were not John's daughters?

Westy
Sorry - they were registered with the surname Shelton but mothers maiden name Wilkinson - Brentford Reg District I can't see Albert at the moment
-
Oh ;D
I misunderstood bigtime! ::)

Brentford marriage is John and Mary Wilkinson 1871.

Thanks Jamjar,
I think I may have been at this too long today as i am not sure as to your meaning?
Are you saying the 1871 is incorrect?
Westy
-
I’m saying that if the wife on the census is Elizabeth, then the children aren’t of the Shelton/Wilkinson line.
It’s possible the girls were born to a different mother given the age difference between the girls and Albert.

thanks so much Jamjar,

Do you have John on the 1871 census?

Yes I did have them and this was the reason I thought they were John F's daughters. But that's an assumption.

It’s the 1871 I was after, before girls’ births.
Is this him as a boarder on the 1871? https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKZ2-CR4C
-
I don't have him in the 1871 census unfortunately.
However John F was born at Eaton, Leicestershire and baptised 14 Dec 1845.
