Hi keefer, thanks for the reply and it's good to know that this thread is still being viewed.
Most of my research so far has been from the Census records and I have traced my grandparent back to 1841 where James was aged 25 and his wife Ann 30. They had children Thomas (5), Rebecca (3) and Mary (7 months). That's why I thought the other post seemed to coincide with mine. There seems to be a number of Thomas's and Mary's in the family around that time and your Mary may well have been James sister.
My ancestors eventually moved to London but I'm not quite sure of when or why. Devon seeemed to be a popular place for Shambrooks around that time!
