I would love to find anyone Else researching the Shields family in the area of Owthorne, Paull and Kingston Upon Hull. I have been able to trace them from 1901 back to about 1766. I descend from a daughter Emily Shields who married Thomas Nixon in 1890 who immigrated to the US in 1907.
I know they were farm laborers. Here is a list of the men in this line. I have some of the siblings in the family and all the census returns I can find (expect 1841)
William Shields born 1833 in Hull (died in Bilton about 1910- head gardener of an estate) married Fanny Clark about 1856.
Joseph Shields born 1800 in Owthorne and died in 1858 in Hull. Worked as a warhouse manager for granary. Married Elizabeth Whisker in 1826.
Samuel Shields born 1766 in Owthorne. Married Isabell Gipson in 1795. Farm Laborer.
Robert Shields died in 1769 in Owrthorne.

Hello Kristen, sorry its been a while since I have replied, but its not through lack of trying, since I last contacted you it done nothing but rain, Hull and Bilton etc has been flooded in total 37,000 homes need help, fortunately ours is ok and may I say so has the house that Mr Shields family where is also safe. I am hoping of giving you the research you want, I think I have tracked down who your Mr Shield worked for, I also think he might have been the gardener at High Farm, If you pm me I can explain, sorry I lost your PM, that was one reason you where ignored, Incidently I do often pop onto roots chat chat room, perhaps you could pop on there
either way I will write soon.
Take care Tony

Hello
I just found your posts regarding the Shields family and was very excited.
I'm descended from Margaret Shields, daughter of William Shields and Martha Crawforth.
Margaret married Matthew Hercliff and their daughter Mary Hercliffe married George Rawson and moved to Australia in 1862. They had 11 children, one of whom was Charles my Great Grandfather.
I would really love to share information with you.

Hi Carol and thanks for the welcome.
I didn't realise the photo looked that bad until I posted it. I do a little bit with Photoshop though, so should be able to fix it without too much trouble. Thanks for giving me the link though.
I can't wait to see what else I can find out about this family.
Regards,
Belinda

Hello Anne
I just got the notification that you had posted to this thread and thought I would let you know that I am descended from Elizabeth's sister Mary who came to Australia. I posted a picture of her on the first page but I have several others if you are interested.
I would reply to you personally but not sure how to do it as I'm not a regular on the forum. Would love to hear more about your branch of the family as well.
Regards,
Belinda

Hi Nutkin
I have just been teaching a group how to use Rootschat and one of them saw your post and thinks her family are related to you. She cannot use a computer but will hopefully get her son to connect you. The family still live in Hull.
Good luck.

Hello! Love finding more Shields family members! :) Kristin

Hi Kristen, just joined Rootschat to try to contact you. William Shields and Frances Milner were my ggg grandparents. Would love to know some of the info you have amassed over the years and happy to share. Last week I was at the grave of William Milner his son George and George's wife Ann Brown at Patrington. Pretty much unreadably now. Also George Shields and Maria Drewery at Bilton as well as quite a few other relatives. Would love to hear from you if you ever see this.

Thank you for reaching out. I have been rather lax in my research lately. Kids and life keep one hopping. So great to meet another Shields relative. I would dove to share my research. I will send you a pm. My great great grandmother was Emily Shields who married William Nixon. They immigrated to America in the early 1900s. William Shields and Frances Milner would be my gggg grandparents.
