Shackletons of Manchester

[lorrainec]

I am looking for any info on the Shackleton family of Manchester.  I have Martha Shackleton b. 1837 in Manchester, m. Richard Edwards and had a daughter Isabel.  Martha d. in Bute, Scotland.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello lorrainec

What information are you looking for?  Do you need census or parish register lookups?
If you'd like to say what information you already have, that would help.

Possible birth registration for her if you don't already have her birth certificate

The IGI site www.familysearch.org has the following:

a marriage which may be the right one as Michael was born about 1818
William Shackleton  to  Isabella Baynes   1 Jan 1818      Lancaster, Lancashire

I wonder if William married twice (again to an Isabella) as there's a gap of 10 years from Michael to Mary

There's another marriage for William Shackleton to Isabella Lamb, 3 Mar 1825 Manchester Cathedral,  then some of the children's baptisms from 1826-1832 are there

Thank you!

Trying to determine if William did marry twice and if so, which Isabella is which?!

Also looking for Martha's marriage to Richard Edwards - probably around 1857-59.

Hi Lorraine,

the marriage is on freebmd  Dec 1856  Fylde  8e 744 Richard Edwards with Martha Shackleton on same page   

if you look on the Lancashire bmd site http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/ you'll find the marriage and a possible Isabella's birth 1860 there too and can order the certs through http://www.rootschat.com/links/052y/

Do you need later census information?

Looking at the original image for the Shackleton family at 72 Travis Street, Manchester, to which Barbara refers, it appears that the word 'Wife' next to Isabella's name has been crossed out.

Please see here:

Isabella may therefore have been William's sister.

Ooops

Hi,

I think you'll find that's just a mark made by the person checking the census, you'll see another 'wife' crossed out further down the page.  Maybe they didn't feel it ought to have been entered in the occupation column, relationships not usually shown in 1841. All the other occupations are ticked.

Ahh thank you for the information Barbara.
