Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Thomas Sheldon marriage lookup
« on: Monday 30 November 09 02:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi folks
Bit of a stab in the dark but I'm searching for a marriage between Thomas Sheldon and a Margaret, do not know her surname only she was born circa 1804. She died on 16th December 1839 at Carlton Cottages, Woolwich, Kent of Decline.
Reason why I'm posting on this board is because Thomas was attested at the Royal Regiment of Artillery at Boston on 17th August 1811 aged 16 years old for the Royal Horse Artillery. His wife could of come from any of a dozen places but I know he was married before 1826 as his first son Thomas was born at Woolwich on 26th July 1826. Prior to that he fought at the Battle of Waterloo and was in France for 3 years 6 months so she may even of been French but best bet is she was from Lincolnshire or Ireland as he was posted there as well. I know he wasn't married at Woolwich as I have the parish records for the main church at Woolwich which is where all the children were baptised and served the military camps and hospitals around that area. If someone could confirm or deny that a marriage took place in Lincolnshire it will strike one place off the possibles.
