William SHELTON grocer of Paddington
« on: Wednesday 30 May 18 14:12 BST (UK) »
William SHELTON was baptised Asfordby, Leicestershire in 1839, moved to Paddington and married.  He and Eliza DOWNING had at least two children however both predeceased William as did Eliza.

Eliza died aged 55 and her death registered in Paddington May - Jun 1895.  Eliza & William's eldest daughter Louisa Fortescue SHELTON died 12 Aug 1895 at Cane Hill.  William was granted Administration of Louisa's effects.  Their youngest daughter Alice Downing SHELTON had died in 1870 aged about 9 years.

The administration mentioned William was a grocer. 

Unfortunately I am unable to locate William and hoping for some assistance.

Yes thanks Jennifer; thank goodness for the census records however to date I cannot locate William in the 1911 census but this may be more to do with research skills.
