## Childhood

At Age 17 on October 25th 1888 he moved to Richard Street to marry his pen pal who his father set him up with in Richard Street and they both got wed on that day. He then introduced himself to everyone in The Pub and made himself known. He was seen as a kind and professional man but also a flirt and would have a pass on women at any chance he could.

At Age 18 He was overjoyed to find out his wife Jane was pregnant with his baby. It was revealed it would be a daughter

At Age 19 When Richard was at his work in the Colliery his wife Jane went into Labour and is in serious pain and falls down the stairs in which she is found by Kevin Platt with his sister-in-law Heather Platt and immediately carried her to the local doctors to which Kevin and Heather stayed with her while she gave birth. But the doctors troubled disturbing news that Jane was suffering a brain injury from the fall and the baby was internally bleeding. A few hours later she gave birth but the baby was a stillborn and this caused major damage to Jane and she was rushed to their intensive care but sadly passed away from the trauma a few hours later.

At Age 19 Richard returned from home from work to an empty house and went into the pub confused and had a drink and asked around if anyone knew where Jane was and Kevin walked him outside and explained how her and the baby had an injury and both died. Richard was in complete shock and drank the rest of his beer and chucked the glass on the ground and walked back home where he cried privately

At Age 20 The Funeral for Jane and the stillborn was set and Richard invited his friends from the mine and her family and the street along to which they complied and he held his emotions tight. But he moved on quick from this situation and started hunting for some more fish to catch.

At Age 20 He started hitting on Elizabeth Masterson who was dating Robert Webb at the time and he stalked the situation. One afternoon after a hewer shift he talked with her and coerced her into kissing him and they made out. In which Robert walked in on and started beating the shit out of Richard and knocked him out with a glass bottle. and dragged Elizabeth home to which he berated and punched her.

At Age 20 Richard was infuriated about the attack and wanted revenge on Richard and when Robert was walking home at night, Richard snuck up behind him and strangled him and battered his skull into a wall and cracked his head open and threw him to the floor and ran off. He managed to get away with this due to Robert losing memory due to the damage it caused on his brain.

At Age 21 Richard started dating Poppy Angluecci whos parents had recently immigrated from Sicily and had moved into the street. He was very attracted to her and tried swooving and getting close with her and teaching her English and being a mentor for her in a way. This paid off for him as she kissed him and they started dating.

At Age 23 He managed to get enough money from his Colliery Hewer job and managed to get enough money to pay for a golden ring for her which he proposed to her while they were on the local beach to which she accepted and they were engaged.

At Age 23 Richard Sheldon and Poppy Angluecci got wed with each-other and they held a ceremony in the pub in which Fernando who was Poppys father who heavily disapproved of Poppy being with Richard and was quite hated in the street barged in and threw Richard on the ground and started punching Richard and knocked out one his teeth and the red mist took over Richard and he stabbed Fernando in the leg and he started bleeding out. Poppy was horrified but sided with Richard and when the police came the street gathered that it was self defence
