Occupation Interests / Ships steward 1840's
« on: Tuesday 14 March 06 16:36 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone can give me any advice I would be very happy!! :)


I have an Edward Sheldrick who on his sons marriage cert was a ships steward.

He appears to have died prior to 1861. No sign of him in 1851 or 1841(as yet)

I have nothing apart from his marriage cert. If I have toe correct person he was born around 1802 and a ships ticket found for me has some voyages in the mid 1840's although I can't decipher what the entries mean, so any help on that would be great.

It says he served 2 years in the Royal Navy but those records aren't online as they are too early.

The only death I found (1858)wasn't him.

So I really would like to get some knowledge on his time at sea,

Any help would be wonderful.

Many thanks

Diane :)

You have all got my thirst quenched again for this lot  :)

I've a bit going on personally at the moment with my marriage break up.

This will be something to get my teeth into - again!!

I am hoping to get to Beds sometime soon.

I will get all the info out and read through it again.

I had tremendous help on here a while back by 2 marvellous members who got a lot of info from the RO for me. Really got me somewhere after a couple of years of going nowhere fast ???


Your input is much appreciated.

Diane :) :) :)

Hi Cathy

Thanks for your reply.

I think John was the eldest son, which makes it strange he was left £50.

He does appear to have married his cousin?? Maybe thats why??

It's a strange old family. :)

I will try the workhouse.

Williams uncles were millers for a while. Warner had a bakers according to directory entries.

I will have to get all the info out and do a timeline.

On the 1861 census in london William was described as a master baker.

As you say that may be worth looking into.

There does seem a conflict in that part of the family were definately pretty well off and George and Ann disappear leaving 2 children on poor relief.

Sometimes asks more questions than it answers!

Thank you all for looking for me.

I believe Georges parents were John and Sarah Green.

The Meppershall connection is the one I'm going with. Family name of Warner seems to be the key.

Georges son William is my connection he had a son called Warner.


Georges parents I believe were John and Sarah Green. Sarahs father was William Green of Clifton, that may be the connection of them going there.

Georges father John had  brothers, Warner, William who inherited their fathers mill and house in Shefford in 1810.

John was left £50!

In 1851 Samuel and Sarah Green are living with a Kitchiner relation in receipt of Parish relief.

Unfortunately the records do appear to be destroyed so no leads there.

My William is 16 in Gamlingay Cambs (1851), by 1859 he is marrying for the first time in London. I then have him on every census.

I believe (from memory) John Green 1861 is a baker in Highgate london. Many of the Green family  including Samuel Green's children who I think may be Georges cousin?? Seem to have ended up in London.

So whatever happened to Geroge and Ann.

My mystery for now!!


Diane :)


ps Ann I beleive was born in Ampthill.

Hi Pam,

I still haven't found them!!

They are my nemesis at the moment, think that the right word :)

Haven't located their deaths either, by cross checking ones found on the indexes with the family history online nothing seems to match with their ages.

I have had Clifton records checked and nothing.

So where did they go between 1841/51

Thanks for asking

Diane :)

Hi Pam,

Thanks for looking for me.

I have recently come across that one and have claimed him.

Posted this so long ago, totally forgot about it, :)

I would never have dreamed of looking there, if only I'd known I could have found him on the CFHS websites 1851 index database years ago!!

I'd bought the 1851 Beds census and everything.

Thanks once again

Diane :)
