Thank you. This helps confirm a lot of the things I thought I had found. Now to update on all sites. How are you connected to the Sheldon’s?
Tricia, i'm not directly connected to this Sheldon line myself.
I was helping a Keith Massey with this line around 10 years ago, before he passed away.
A few weeks ago his son John posted a message on a Sheldon surname Facebook page asking for help with this line, unknown to him at that time, that his Dad had already made a start on the tree.
They are connected to the Sheldons via Susan Maud Sheldon b1893 daughter of John Sheldon and Susan Hill.
Thomas William Paskin Sheldon was born out of wedlock to Susan 1893 Sheldon, he later changed his name to Massey as he was adopted by his step grandfather (long story) see pic attached for tree diagram.
I am a Sheldon by birth, and in the process of research my own Sheldons from Tipton/Dudley and late of Stoke on Trent, i've collected a fair ammount of data on other Sheldon lines, which I give away free of charge to others. Sheldons helping Sheldons so to speak.
Apologies to the forum if this isn't allowed, but The Sheldon Surname Facebook page

you will find a topic about these Sheldons and if you are a Facebook member, you could contact John Massey and share info.
My next step in helping John was to investigate the 2 brothers that went to NZ.
I'm quite happy to give out my email address and share any info i have,
