RE the 1889 birth cert for William SHERDEN, born at 62 Susan Street, CAMPERDOWN to John aged 22 and a boot maker.
From the Sands 1892 Sydney Suburban Directory for CAMPERDOWN
Susan street – West side
Newtown boundary to University street
56 William PAGE, baker
68 Frederick REES,
64 Wo;;oa, REOD
60 Robert MITCHAEL, van proprietor
62 John PULLEN
66 Reviver hotel, Dougal MCDONGALL
then Brown Street
70 Magnus PHILLIP, bottle dealer
72 William COURTNEY
64 W C WEBB
76 R GARLICK, fuel merchant
Then Thomas Street
James J LESLIE, butcher
So, I then looked in same directory but for Susan St starting in NEWTOWN and although I found it, there’s NONE surnamed SHERDEN (or variations) and NONE listed as boot makers (or similar).
NEXT I tried Sands 1891 TRADE directory for Sydney
BOOT and SHOE manufacturers, AND ALAS ….. (need a smilie face at RChat with a foot stamping thingy) …. From Sanderson to Swyny, not a ripple of a Sherden or variation ….
The Sands directories were closed for entries each October, so the 1892 one closed for entries in Oct 1891, and of course the 1891 directory closed for entries in Oct 1890.
So, I am still searching, and fingers crossed that I will find something tangible soon, and that Irish suggestion from Neil makes a lot of good sense to me .....
Cheers, JM

What is on this document that identifies this man to be widower of Annie Maria?
There are quite a few mentions on trove of Annie KIRBY in trouble with the law from around 1882 (when it was disputed whether she was yet 16 years old).eg:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/238476771 (4th column, near the bottom).
Another case where her mother was in court, though not named:

Possible: There is a record for an Annie KIRBY in 1881 at the Training School for Girls Biloela Parramatta Entrance Book. Her parents are named Patrick and Catherine KIRBY, Dargin Street.
