[23837] See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda,_Countess_of_Angus which reports: "Matilda of Angus was the daughter of Maol Choluim, Earl or Mormaer of Angus and as his heiress was countess of the province in her own right. She was first married to John Comyn, but his early death in France in 1242 meant that a new husband was needed to control the dispersed Earldom. The man selected was Gilbert de Umfraville, a Norman, who was feudal Baron of Prudhoe in Northumberland. He too died shortly before March 13, 1245, but not before Matilda had borne him a son to succeed to the Earldom. Matilda married thirdly, before December 22, 1247, a grandson of King John of England, Richard de Dover, feudal baron of Chilham, Kent, son of Richard Fitz Roy, to whom she had one son, Richard, and one daughter Isabel. Matilda (called Maud in English records) thereafter disappears from records, and her son Gilbert de Umfraville, 1st Earl of Angus, succeeded her in his infancy."

[14490] Ancestry.com offers: "Sheldon Name Meaning - English: habitational name from any of the various places so called. The main source is probably the one in Derbyshire, recorded in Domesday Book as Scelhadun, formed by the addition of the Old English distinguishing term scylf 'shelf' to the place name Haddon (from Old English h?ð 'heath(er)' + dun 'hill'). There are also places called Sheldon in Devon (from Old English scylf 'shelf' + denu 'valley') and Birmingham (from Old English scylf + dun 'hill')."
