Help finding Samuel Sheldon and his family

[rosie99]

Ann Eliza Sheldon seems to remarry to Thomas Fawcett on 26 March 1883 (Leeds) claiming to be a 32 yr old spinster daughter of Benjamin “Sheldon”, waterman.  When she had married in 1872, her father was named as Benjamin Firbank, waterman.

Thomas and Annie E Fawcett have Eliza A “Fawcett”, 13 b Horbury, with them in 1891: RG12/3683/107/18.

Thank you, now I know not to bother following her after Samuel has gone

Thank you for the replies, I hadn't even thought of Ann Eliza remarrying

What information does Samuels death certificate give

[bethanyyd96]

I don't have the death cert, I found the record online. I'm not entirely sure it's the right one though.

Presumably Samuel's father, his occupation is Forgeman on census

Coming back to this thread. Still looking for Samuel Sheldon.

I have found a record for immigration to the US that has him on the SS Lord Gough in 1879:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-DP7G-9?i=429&cc=1908535&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AK8CX-M4M

On the Pennsylvania passenger lists index on familysearch, it says he's 27, forgeman, from England:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-998F-DFJS?cc=2173965&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQV9Y-L3D6

Sounds like the right one. But I can't find him in any subsequent censuses.

The last England census I have for him is 1871 and he was working at an iron works so this ties in.
