Mary, transcribed as Sherdon, can be found on the 1851 in Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, she is described as a "silk dyer". Would be very grateful for any more sightings of her or her daughter "Carathme" possibly Catherine, born Preston, about 1841. Her son Daniel has been traced up until his death in 1897. Thanks.
