Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could help me please? (As I know you are all amazing at finding things! And please forgive me if I get anything wrong, very new to all of this still!)
I have found out all about my paternal father's side (all Romany Loveridges and Parkers) which has been fascinating to explore, but it made me realise that I actually haven't got a clue about my dad's mother's side of the family!
(Just a quick add, my grandmother is still alive, but due to circumstances from when I was younger, I have nothing to do with her at all, or any of her family. I am purely interested in the family history!)
This is the only information I have on the Sheltons, as I know the more info to start with the better!) ...
My grandmother's maiden name is J C Shelton, bn
1940's. Her mother's name was Kathleen Shelton (maiden name Gardner), who died in 1971 and her ashes are placed in Dunstable Cemetery, Bedfordshire. I have no idea about her father whatsoever, as he is not placed with the mother. J had at least one brother, the one I know of is B Shelton, married to R and they lived in Lincolnshire but not sure if that's where J or the rest of the family originally came from? J married William Mead in Luton, Bedfordshire in September
1960's and had five children, one of which is my dad. (Grandad William died in 1998)
Thankyou ever so much for reading! And thankyou on advance if you can help, I'd be ever so grateful! It's been a nightmare to try and find anything!!
