thanks so much.  i think this is the right family, as Edward's one daughter was Agnes Annie Fredrika Martha.
If i needed to find out if they were on 1901 census, would it be possible?  I know that their one daughter above was born in 1902 in South Africa and am trying to find a time frame of when they emigrated.

regards

Hi

Well, in 1901 Henry and Ann are in Barrow in Furness, with John, Richard, Percy and Elizabeth still at home (Elizabeth 8 years old)

I can find no trace of Edward Henry.

Hope this helps

Hi Jackie,
These Sheltons are relations of my husband.  His g.grandparents were Henry Shelton & Ann Moore.  Their daughter was Ellen Louisa b.1881 Westmorland was my husband's grandmother.  Ellen married David Chittick in 1906 Windermere.  His mother Margaret was b.1912 Paisley Scotland. The family came to Australia 1913.

If you join the group "Sheltons of England and the United Kingdom" on Facebook.  Brian Duncan Shelton may be able to help.  His grandfather was John William Shelton b.1885 who went to Sth. Africa.  He was a brother of Ellen. 

Mark Herlin Shelton is also a member of the group.  His grandfather was Edward Henry Shelton b.1877 brother of Ellen and John William Shelton.  He also went to Sth. Africa.

Regards Robyn
