Title: Jane Sheldon school mistress Eyam
Post by: helenehanff on Sunday 06 December 09 18:04 GMT (UK)

 :)

Hi one and all
I have two questions. Can any one help I can't find anything about the Sheldon family from Curbar. My 4 * gt gd mother was Jane Sheldon and according to the 1851 census she was born in 1781 from Curbar. I haven't managed to find anything about this family.

My second question still comes as a consequence of the 1851 census her occupation is listed as school mistress. Which school could this be I assume it was in Eyam as she is shown as living in Townend Eyam?

Hope some one can help
Helene

Hi

I'm having problems finding the 1851 entry you mention (there is a problem with Ancestry re: 1851 at the moment)

Was there anybody else in the household in 1851?

Can't find an 1841 entry either

Can you supply the 1851 reference - HO107  piece number   folio  page

I think Sheldon must be maiden name. Jane Bradshaw widow, fits the other details.

Hi
Yes sorry about that I had been so engrosed in looking for her parents that I forgot to mention her married name was Bradshaw.

Was there another school nearby in 1851 that she could have been school mistress at

Thanks for helping me
regards
Helene

Hi Helene

I think Stoney Middleton was close by

The history of Stoney Middleton Village School dates from 1835
