Hi all, I have a "Francis Robert Walter Sheaf" born IOW in 1895. Volume no:2B Page no: 603 The only marriage found at Findmypast is to a " Maud E Sheaf" in 1921 at Camberwell . London. Volume no: 1D Page no: 1706 It seemed strange but not unbelievable to marry someone with the same surname, but I cannot find a birth for Her (Maud E Sheaf) Findmypast have a: Maud Emily Shea born Marylebone, London in 1897, Volume no: 1A Page no: 529 Also other "SHEA" Could the end "F" be a mistake? Findmypast have a: Hilda Maude E Sheaf born: : Lambeth, London in 1878 Volume no: 1D Page no: 543 IWFHS have a Maud Elizabeth Sheaf who died 1956 aged 66 birth year 1889 - 1890 Ref: SE7/E335 but no maiden name which they sometimes do have! Francis Robert Walter Sheaf died on the IOW Iin1980 aged 84. Any thoughts welcomed, Thanks, Mick IOW.

My mothers family has several Motes who married another Motes. Most were cousins, 1st and 2ND. Once or twice a widow married a brother and made new children!
