John Robert Sherwood (born Holbeck May 1876) marries Jane Elizabeth Midgley (born Middlesborough 1877) in Holbeck, Feb 1906. I have his birth cert and the marriage cert.
He is the son of Mary Jane Clark (born Middlesex c 1849) and Frederick Sherwood. Mary Jane goes by the name of Jane on the 1881 and 1891 census.
She married Fred Sherwood Dec 1875 Holbeck - have just sent off for that cert.
John Robert appears to have siblings on the 1881 - Elizabeth Davis Sherwood b 1878 and Annie Eliza J Sherwood b 1879 d 1885 Hunslet, Leeds. (similar area to Holbeck). No sign of Elizabeth anywhere else!
Mary (Jane) Sherwood disappears after 1891 - can we find her/her death?
Fred disappears after John Robert's birth certificate - so dies before 1881 as his wife is stated as widow - where is he?!
Can't find births for Fred or Jane either! (Hopefully the marriage cert will help later...)
In 1881 Jane and children are living with a family called Bramham - and she is stated as sister - presumably of him, but her mmn was Clark!
Would anyone care to unscramble any of this?!
Thank you
