Somerset / Re: SHENTON family in Chelvey
« on: Friday 01 August 08 14:56 BST (UK) »
Hi this message is a bit of a long shot.
Do you have any of your Shenton's as shown in your message linked to the following family ancestor. My GGGG Grandfather A Mr Henry Kelway brn 27th Jan1758 from Falmouth, Cornwall married a Mary Clist Shenton on the 29th October 1780 in Falmouth.
I do not have her birth date or where she was born or who her parents were hence this enquiry. Other than the listing above the surname Shenton does not appear in Cornwall as far as I can ascertain in any other BDM records.
I am of the opinion that the name originates from either Cheshire or Leicestershire
My late parents gave me the name & a number of relatives both living & dead have also been given the name Shenton as part of their names. Are you able to help in my quest for more info on the Cornish 'Shenton' family?. Thank you
Geraint Shenton Gregory.
