I am looking for any descendants of Thomas Preston born about 1776 in Market Overton, married Mary Squire about 1800, son John Preston baptised in St.Peter & Paul, Market Overton, 1st May 1804 married Ann Bates 1825, Market Overton, son Amos Preston baptised St.Peter & Paul, MO, 11 Sept 1836.
Amos joined the Police in Nottingham and married Amelia Shelton, daughter of Robert Shelton of Papplewick, Sept 1861, then emigrated to Australia, first in Western Australia, then settled in Adelaide joined the SA Police, where they had 10 children.
Any persons also looking at Preston/Shelton history would be welcomed.
Regards
Crichton Burton
