Hi Amanda, thank you the whole family seems to have disappeared after the 1841 census thank you Margaret

Hi Margaret, There is only one Shelley on the Berks 1851 name index, Sarah Shelley. age 51 widow living Reading, born Oxford. 2 named Shelly living together in Kintbury are sisters: Hellen 51 born Warnham Sussex Margaret 50 ditto, they are both Landed Propriertors. Best wishes Amanda

Thank you Linda, I don't know what happened to them but thank you for looking and I received your email Best Wishes Margaret

I have been through the whole of Sunninghill and the parish of Sunninghill again, but I can't find them. I did find Bogside, but they are not there. It is odd that there are no assorted girls left behind as servants. The whole family has obviously moved on. I have also looked through Winkfield for you, but again I can't see them I think your only hope will be if you can find someone with a name index, as they could be anywhere in the county. Linda

Hi Linda, thank you very much I can't find them on the 1861 census but in the 1851 census it says Bogside Sunninghill John Shelley is 40 and Mary is 45 but as you know they rounded ages up or down the youngest daughter then was a mary 8mths rosena 8 harriet 10 charlotte 13 martha 15 and what looks like deliah 15 don't know if they were twins. John was a Well digger thank you. Had a thought as well one of the daughters was married and living in Winkfield Berkshire so perhaps they moved there Margaret x

I have no name index but I have looked through Sunninghill in 51 and can't see them, though much of it is very feint. Do you have any more of the address in 41? Where were they in 61? I have to go out now, but will look for your reply when i get back Linda
