Charles Edward Sheldon (c. 1880 - c.1932)
I'm researching Charles Edward Sheldon (c. 1880 - c.1932).
I have no information on his parents or any siblings.
I know he was married to a Josephine Magdalene (maiden name unknown) who died c. 1935.
They had seven children: George Charles (1920 - 1981), Ruth Lilian (c.1920 - 2008), Walter Garrett (d.1978), Cecil Joseph (d.1962), Norman Edward (d.1950), Lavinia and Constance.
I believe he may have been born in Cape Town and worked as a Chief Engineer on a tugboat, but that information is not definite.
All I've really been able to find so far is that the National Archives of South Africa has the Estate Papers for a Charles Edward Sheldon dated 1932, which may or may not be him.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
I am also interested in general in the South African heritage of all Sheldon's, so any information in that regard would also be welcome.
All the best,
Craig
