Sheldon Eryrys Look up please **Completed**

[PamSquam]

Hi, I am a newbie so I apologise if I am doing this wrong

I have found my G G G grandfather born in Eryrys, Denbighshire (civil parish Llanarmon-yn-Ial) his name is John Sheldon born about 1821

However I have found a man called Thomas Sheldon born about 1780 who lived in Eryrys a few doors away from John and his family.  I am trying to find out if there is a link between the two, I could guess at him being his father but he could just as easily be an uncle. I believe Thomas Sheldon died aged about 94.

I don't seem to be able to find any census for the area in 1841 and wondered how else I could find out if/how these two are linked

Thanks

Hi

Census info shows his birthplace as Llanarmon.  He married Harriet Jones March qtr 1846 Ruthin 27  306

A copy of his marriage cert should give his fathers name and occupation

Re: 1841 entry

Hello PamSquam

I found John and Harriet's marriage. John's father was Thomas , he was a miner.
Harriet's father was also a miner, his name was Hugh Jones.
