Hi Brenda

Was Jane born on the 14th of March, 1792 in Colne, Lancashire and was her mother's name Nancy?

Blimey  yes and yes
i believe nancy was hartley

I always like to get confirmation for these things but at the moment it's probably safe to mark down - in pencil - the IGI Batch number C012894.

According to the LDS, Jane was christened at St Bartholomew's Church, Colne on the 13th of May, 1792.

Please note: There is no confirmation from St Bartholomews that Jane SHACKLETON was baptised there in 1792.

However, there is a record that Jane's brother Richard was baptised there in 1794...

With a name like Hartley, I'd love to know if Nancy and Richard Shackleton came from the Todmorden area...

...No - the indications are that Richard was born around 1763 in Colne and that he married Nancy on the 29th of March, 1788 at St. Bartholomew's.

Again in pencil...

...And Jane Shackleton's marriage to James WHALLEY on the 27th September, 1818:

The marriage was registered in Burnley, which was the registration district for Colne in 1818 but I cannot confirm where the wedding took place. Specifically, there is no record at St Bartholomew's that a marriage took place there  in 1818 between Jane Shackleton and James Whalley.

Hi Again, from what Ive been told, jane and james married at all saints in habergsham, they are also buried there, , I have a picture of their tombstone, their grandson is buried their with them,  would you like me to send you this?

are you related to the Shackleton family?

Hi Brenda,

James Whalley and Jane were married at St. Peters Parish Church, Burnley.  M005206 refers to St. Peters.  Trust me on this.

They could not have been married at All Saints Habergham as it wasn`t built unitl 1845. 

Regards,
Mo

Hi Mo,
Thank you very much for that information, I was kind of wondering about that, the older information was passed down from another Whalley relative, her gr grgr grandfather is the brother of my gr gr gr gr grandfather ! I get so confused with all these greats ! I think I will go check the OPC for more Whalleys !

Hi Brenda

Yes please, I would very much like to receive copies of these for my files.

I am related to the Shackletons, yes, but the Shackletons are a huge family and not all of them are closely related. It's great fun doing the research though! I am considering doing a one-name study of them in much the same way as someone has already done with the Uttleys.

My great, great aunt, Mary Isabella Wolfenden, married the farmer next door, Thomas Shackleton and made me a relative by marriage.
