Hi Guys, having difficulty with this one... My Alfred Horatio Sheaf born Portsea Hampshire England in 1855 was the son of Mary Ann Smith above and Aaron Sheaf. |

Should that be 'formerly'? It makes a difference................. |

She is on the 1851 and 1861 census with her parents John Smith and Charlotte. Her husband a fisherman Aaron is listed as "son-in-law" and her children are listed as "grandchildren" I would have expected the grandparents to be "Goodall" but they SMITH... :-S |

Just stop a moment and consider that Mary's mother was Charlotte Goodall, and that she may have married John Smith after Mary was born |

On Alfred Horatio Sheafs birth record it lists his mother Mary Ann Sheaf "formally" Goodall residing at Rudmore Place Portsea. So shes had her son while still living with parents John and Charlotte Smith.. |

I don't profess to be 'better' than anyone.............but it is important just to take your time, and consider all possibilities |

Definitely better than me tho Reggie, and yes your quiet right, I should consider all possibilities. I did however think perhaps she had been married briefly but seemed to young, and then wondered if she was adopted... But once again, thanks |

Has come to light that Egbert Thomas Sheaf wasn't Aaron Sheafs son.. Egbert Thomas was born in Jan 1869.. Aaron Sheaf has already remarried Amelia Sage in 1867... Have the birth for Egbert Thomas who says his father was Egbert Sheaf who is listed as a seaman in the merchant service??? I cannot find Egbert Thomas (or Thomas E Sheaf) as he was sometimes known by or his mother Mary Ann Sheaf formally Goodall born 1831 on the 1871 census. I see them on the 1881 census with his mother and siblings George, Charlotte etc. But where are they in 1871 where Egbert would have been about 3... :-( |
