Hi there,
Alfred Sheldrake is my great great grandfather and was born in 1818 according to our family findings but possible it was 1819. He came to Canada sometime before 1841 because he married Susan Shelp in 1841 in Osnabruck, Ontario (near Cornwall). He and Susan had 13 children. Alfred Senior died on March 11, 1911 at Vernon, Ontario, Osgoode Twp., Carleton County. My great grandfather was Alfred Sheldrake (name later changed to Sheldrick) who was a postmaster in Grant, Ontario. Alfred (Junior) and his wife Margaret Ann Cook had 12 children, my grandfather being Daniel, and then my father was Melville. I am curious how you are related to the Sheldrake clan and if you might have any information on Alfred Senior's parents or from where he came from in Britain. I have further family info -- perhaps we can help each other out with our family trees.
Hope to hear from you, Thanks, Bev Potter.
