Hi - I have Shiers/Shires who originate in Yorkshire/Lancashire and arrive in Shoreditch, Islington, Clerkenwell, etc., London by 1800.  I recall seeing Shears as an alternative spelling to consider for these people and wonder if the final 's' could be mis-read/transcribed as an 'n'?  Just a thought, may be. 🙂
