      Hello John,

      First of all, I will give you the information on descendents of Charlotte Stedman and Thomas Sheriff:

      Thomas Sheriff was a farmer from northern Herefordshire/Shropshire (the boundaries were continually changing in this area) Thomas was born in Bucknell but farmed mostly in the Leintwardine, Buckton (which comes under Bucknell, though is technically in Herefordshire). He married Charlotte in Apr 1843 in Bucknell and they had :

      Charlotte Ann (my gt gt granny) b. 1844 d 1933
      William b 1855 d. 1855
      Caroline Ellen b 1848 d 1862
      Alice Emma b 1853 d. 1861
      Henry William b 1856 d ?1890
      Jane Louisa b 1851 d 1860
      Thomas Stedman b 1846 d.?

      Charlotte Ann married Henry James b. 1839 in Presteigne, Radnorshire (Wales) . They were married in Stourport in 1867, but made their home in Presteigne where they had :

      Edward Sheriff b. 1869 d. 1947 (my gt grandfather)

      Hello John,

      Yes you are quite right.  There was obviously some shuffling around with the family during this period. Thomas Sheriff did indeed die in 1859 - 15 Sep in Presteigne, in what was probably a private nursing home or hospital or something. He died from Tuberculosis. You will notice that there was quite a bit of upheaval for the family during these few years. Alice died 3 Nov 1861 in Presteigne; Caroline in 29 Jul 1862; Jane Louisa 21 May 1860, and I am unsure whether Thomas Stedman Sheriff died before 1861 because I have been unable to trace him. Charlotte (nee Stedman) worked for a brief time as a housekeeper in Dudley, as you say. Charlotte Ann was married in Worcestershire. I can't be certain why, yet, but I think some of my Longmore line (who link into the Sheriffs) came from that area. Certainly all my Stedmans were Shropshire based (some spilled over into the border areas of Wales).

      I haven't yet been able to determine who Ann James in the 1861 census, was. You will see that in the 1871 census Charlotte is living in Presteigne and listed as an annuitant living in Hereford Street. In the 1881 she is still living at The Oxford Arms in Hereford Street, with her son, Henry Sheriff.

      I have a number of the certificates, so can tell you the causes of death of some of them, if you are interested.
