Thank you for that reply.  I know about that family of Shackells and other name variants.  He is not the same as my John.  I have done quite of bit of research into the Holcombe Rogus Shackells and hope one day that I may be able to see a connection further back, but at present they appear to be different families.  My research points towards Thomas in Tiverton and that is where I am stuck.  Many thanks.

Thanks for the replies.   ;To be specific, I am looking for the parents of a John Shackell born C1789 in Somerset/Devon.  I know he was married in Taunton in 1809 to Christian Miller - she died in 1816 and he remarried in the same year, again at Taunton - to Dinah Taylor.  John was a basketmaker, and I suspect his father may have been Thomas Shackell of Tiverton, who was an apprentice basketmaker in 1771.  Thomas married Mary Bidgood in Tiverton on 21 May 1778 and they had a son John born 17 June 1789.  I am trying to prove that John's parents are Thomas and Mary.  It seems likely, but I cannot prove it.  Is anyone else researching this same Shackell line?   I have a lot of detail about John and his descendants, but am have difficulty going further back.  Any help or hints would be appreciated.

Hi, I am researching the Shackell family who were living in Tiverton Devon in the mid 1700's - 1800's.  In particular, I would like to learn about Thomas Shackell, a basketmaker.  If anyone knows anything about this person,  please let me know.
