William Shackleton

[heywood]

It's good to have all the information together.

Let's hope it all makes sense now.

Not quite

Have established that I have the right death certificate but I am trying to figure out where the informant Sarah Shackleton fits in.

[heywood]

Are you sure that is the right death certificate?

[Gibby1968]

Yes, me and my friend agree that I have the right certificate.

[heywood]

Yes, me and my friend agree that I have the right certificate.

If so, then maybe William and Rose had parted and he was living with someone called Sarah.

As I said earlier, there is an earlier death for a WS which is a possibility and would leave Rose to be with James Stell in 1851.

As Rose was living with James Stell as a widow on 1851 census, have you found  "your" William Shackleton on the 1851 Census and who was he living with?

[heywood]

It is difficult as the name is common to that area.

William and Rose married in Keighley.
William's address Oakworth. Rose's Hope and Anchor.

1849 a William Shackleton dies Branch House, Newsholme burial Keighley

1851 Rose living West or White House, Keighley.
Enumerator's description mentions  Oakworth boundary, Newsholme, Holme House 'far and near'.
James and Rose married Keighley. Addresses Holme  House

As mentioned before, There is a William and Sarah in Micklethwaite. Sadly census just shows addresses as Micklethwaite village.
The 1851 burial is Bingley as is Micklethwaite.

I think you should investigate a bit more just to make sure.

1851;

HO107/2286/ 247 p 17;

It looks like William had another wife, either legal or common law.  Her name was Sarah (possibly tge Sarah on the death certificate)

There were some children as well. 

Not sure yet if the children are their children or just hers.

[heywood]

That's the one we posted earlier.

That William shows as born Lancashire.
He is probably the one who marries Sarah Waterhouse in 1841 in Bingley.

Children
Ann baptised 1840 mother Sarah Whitehouse- Bingley
