Many thanks for finding them. The William that you mention on the 1841 is also their son. Please could I have his details?
Is it poss. that Robert would still be on the 1861 or even the 1871? The Grandchild Mary, on the 1851 could poss. be the dau. of their son Samuel, but I don't know who he married. He's new to me.

Hi, my name is Andrew Shelton, the Robert Shelton referred to is my Great Great Grandfather. His son ,William who was a furnace man in Ironville, Derbyshire was my Great Grandfather, and his last child, Albert was my Grandfather. He lived in Langley Mill, Derbyshire and was a good friend of the author D H Lawrence.
We should get together to compare notes ! I live in Hucknall, Notts

Wow, I first posted this 12 years ago!
It was Thomas William Shelton born 1853 that married my relative Dora Frost. A lot of my Frost family lived in Codnor, Langley Mill, Ironville, Selston.

Hi inchworm, thanks for response. I have come across a John A Frost, co owner of Pickersgill and Frost, Star Foundry, Langley Mill. Could they be connected to you ?

I have just found this entry in the Nottingham Journal on British Newspaper Archive:
Nottingham Journal - Friday 20 January 1854
TUESDAY.—Before S. Newham and T. Cullen, Esqrs. A DISORDERLY LODGER THOMAS FARADAY, aged 28, a labourer, Millstone-lane, was brought up, charged by Robert Shelton, lodging-house-keeper, with wilfully damaging a door, on the previous night, and assaulting Mrs. Shelton. It appeared, that the prisoner was very disorderly at his lodgings and alter creating a great disturbance, struck his landlady several times tearing a cap from her head. He also broke the panel of the door, using the most threatening language. The magistrates for the assault fined the prisoner 2s., for the damage 3s., and the costs 9s. 6d., and in default of payment committed him to prison for one month with hard labour.

Sorry, not my family as far as I know. Most of mine worked for the Butterley Company and were engineers/blacksmiths.
