Can anyone help me to find information on William Perry Sheldrick who was born in 1871. He possibly had a brother and his mothers name was Susannah. there may be a link to Walcock Green or Diss in Norfolk William married Suzhanna (unusual spelling) Day born 21/5/1892 in Isle of Ely. she has a link to Jack Fry with whom I believe she had a son Arthur William Jack Day who I knew as Uncle Jack. My Dad (Paul sheldrick 13/10/24 - 21/08/90) used to take me to see him and Aunty Mable (nee Wade?) when I was a child. Contact me on [email protected] if any of this is familiar. Trevor

Hi Trevor,
My ancestors also come from Norfolk (Gaywood area) and are called Sheldrick (formerly Sheldrake).
I have done some research for you but I'm not sure if we are connected.
William Perry(Percy) Sheldrick (born Sheldrake) in 1872 at Depwade, Norfolk.His parents were called Perry Sheldrake and Priscilla Leathers and they married in1854 at Depwade, Norfolk.
They are on most of the censuses up until 1901 as Sheldrake living at Walcot Green, Diss, Norfolk!
William married a Susannah Day in1914 at Orsett, Essex.
I could only find 2 children:
Zilpha E M Sheldrick born 1915 Orsett
Drusilla D C Sheldrick born 1917 Orsett

I hope this is of some help to you.

Regards
Clair
