Lost Staffordshire Thomas Shenton!
« on: Wednesday 27 August 08 18:39 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a Thomas Shenton who lived in Chelvey, Somerset in the 1750's.
Shentons are very scarce in Somerset, he turns up with a wife Hannah in Chelvey in 1746 and stays for the rest of his life, they have 8 children baptised in Chelvey.
I have looked long and hard for him either born or married in Somerset without success.
The other day I did a search on the IGI and found this:
Thomas Shenton married HANNAH WHIELDON on  08 MAY 1745 Croxden, Stafford they seem to have 1 daughter Mary on 11 AUG 1745 and then nothing more in Staffordshire that I can see.
Has anyone got this couple in their tree?
Did they dissapear from the record?
Could they have moved down to Somerset?
Any thoughts welcome
Thanks
Derek

I have a Hannah Whieldon, bpt. 27.10.1722 in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. She was daughter of my gr-5th-grandparents Joseph Whieldon and Aliciae Malkin - and sister of the potter Thomas Whieldon of Fenton.

If you are interested please e-mail me - or message here.

Whieldon, Wheeldon, Wheildon etc. all over (originates from Staffordshire), Turner of Middlesex, Pugh of Shropshire, Santer of Sussex, Cobley of London and Bill or Farley Hall, Staffordshire.
My family moved around a lot, so most aren't just in one county.
