I'm looking for parents and siblings of Rebecca Sheldrake 1846 - 1930. She was born in Ipswich UK, came to Australia and married Arthur Long and they settled in Shepparton, Victoria. Thanks
The only Rebecca Sheldrake I can find find was born in Birch, Essex. Essex and Suffolk (Ipswich) border each other. If it is the correct one then the 1861 UK census reads as follows William Sheldrake (Head) born 1793 Birch Essex a "Chelsea Pensioner" I have to point out this is very special Sarah (Wife) 1801 Layer de la Hay, Essex Rebecca (Daughter unmarried) 1844 Birch William (Son Married) 1828 Birch an Agicultural Labourer Rhoda (daughter in law) 1819 Layer Breton Myra (Granddaughter) 1857 Birch William (grandson) 1961 (1 month) Birch
Births Mar 1846 (>99%) Sheldrake Rebecca Ipswich 12 368
to find the parents you will have to purchase the certificate.

My 3 x ggrandmother was Elizabeth Sheldrake, born in Suffolk. Not found a connection to your Rebecca, although my research on this line is in the very early stages.
I can however help you out on some more of Rebecca's siblings. As taken from the 1851 England Census:
SHELDRICK, William Head Married M 59 1792 Agricultural Labourer & Chelsea Pensioner Birch, Essex SHELDRICK, Sarah Wife Married F 50 1801 Birch, Essex SHELDRICK, William Son Unmarried M 23 1828 Ag Lab Birch, Essex SHELDRICK, Simon Son Unmarried M 20 1831 Ag Lab Birch, Essex SHELDRICK, Maria Daughter Unmarried F 11 1840 Scholar Birch, Essex SHELDRICK, Rebecca Daughter F 6 1845 Birch, Essex
