L70 BAG STOLEN IN THE STREET

A bag valued at L70 has been stolen from Miss Lesla Sheldon, of Unwin Mansions, Queen’s Club Gardens, Kensington.  Miss Sheldon was returning from a West End theatre, and when nearing her flat, she was hustled by two men, one of whom snatched her gold bag from her hand.  The matter has been placed in the hands of the police, to whom Miss Sheldon has supplied a description of the two men, who were both fairly well dressed.

Rev. Henry O. Sheldon

The Rev. Henry O. Sheldon is often considered the grandfather of Sheldon genealogy. While traveling as a preacher he met other Sheldons and wondered how they were all related. Eventually, he began collecting genealogies & piecing the various Sheldon branches together, first published in 1855 as the Sheldon Magazine. From his private journal: Monday, 4th of May, 1818, age 19, the start of his travels:

“Snowed some last night – roads wet and splashy – At half-past eleven A.M. started on a western tour – took an affectionate leave of my parents and brother and sister after receiving their advice & prayer for my preservation, — rode 25 miles – The day was wet & cold & stormy – Winds N.W.”
