I can find the following children born in Kidderminster with mother's maiden name Stokes
Louise Sarah Dec 1844 Kidderminster vol 18 p359 - died 1845
Harriet Mar 1846 Kidderminster vol 18 p389
George Mar 1849 Kidderminster vol 18 p429
Emma Mar 1852 Kidderminster vol 6c p232
I can also find baptisms for the following children of John and Jane
Mary Jane 11 August 1843
Louise Sarah 15 September 1844
Harriet 15 March 1846
George 4 March 1849
Emma 24 February 1852
The 1851 Census has John and Jane in Kidderminster with Mary Jane, Harriet, Thomas and George. I cannot find Emma at all, nor can I see a death for her.
John Sheffield married Jane Stokes Dec 1842 Kidderminster vol 18 p468

Hi Steve and welcome to the British-Genealogy forums.
As your post is needing, and already receiving information (thanks emeltee) about an ancestor I have moved it from the "Introduce Yourself' forum to the Worcestershire forum and given it the new title George Sheffield born Kidderminster 1849.
If you would like a new title or other changes you just have to ask.
