  [S1] Certificate, Daughter's Birth. [S1] Certificate, Death, Tewkesbury, vol 6a p342. Wife of James Sheldon (who made his mark) of Crooked Alley (as in census). [S1] Certificate, Marriage, Tewkesbury, vol 11 p673. Not absolutely certain - he was James Shelton, she was Martha Prattan. But he was a labourer, her father was a stocking maker, and neither of them could read, so wouldn't know the spelling. They were both of full age and the date is good - and I can find no others about that time in the correct place.
