    Notes 
    • Thomas and Francis are probably not William's children - Thomas definitely started out as Thomas Sheldon, staying with his grandparents in 1871. I expect Martha didn't marry their father, and I can find no marriage for Martha and William.
      Martha's parents had a different grandson, William, staying with them in 1881, about the same age as Thomas. I have found William and Thomas living in the same house in 1891, both married - they could be cousins or brothers since the ages given differ by a year.
    • Wm and Martha are captured in the 1881 census in Birmingham with Thomas and Francis, then in the 1891 census in London with the youngest three. Thomas and Francis would be 21 and 19 in 1891 - old enough to have left home.

      In 1891 Sarah lived in the same street as Thomas' mother Martha and his stepfather William Worrall. At that time she was married to Henry Matthias. No doubt they met.
