William Shackleton

[Gibby1968]

William Shackleton was born c1821 in Bingley or Keighley.  His father was Joseph, a shopkeeper.

William married Rose Hindle on 28 February 1848 at the parish church in Keighley. 

He died on 25 May 1851 at Pease Carr, Micklethwaite, near Bingley.  He was buried at Bingley All Saints three days later.

According to his death certificate I received today, the informant was Sarah Shackleton.  Is she his sister?  Where was Rose when William died?

I would like to know more about William but I don't have much to go on.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks.

Rose went onto marry my 3x great grandfather James Stell and have three children.

This is the only Shackleton family that I can see in the village of Micklethwaite in  the 1851 census.  The family does include a Sarah Shackleton

Where was Rose when William died?

She was only young and probably distraught, perhaps someone older offered to do it for her

I did find a Joseph and William Shackleton in 1841.

I am just having another look for it.

Looking at the 1851 Census (taken 30 March 1851) Rose is enumerated as "widow"  She is living with children Sarah, Joseph and Levi.  James Stell is living with her.  Is the William Shackleton who died on 25 May 1851 the correct one?  There are several William Shackleton deaths around that area in that time frame.

Hello,

Is that definitely the right William Shackleton?
There is a William Shackelton in Micklethwaite with wife Sarah in 1851 2286/247/17. He is 29 yrs but Sarah is 40 yrs so the age could be wrong, I suppose.
Do you have Rose in 1851?

Added- our posts have crossed but perhaps are linked.

Thanks for the link Goughy- I would never have found that!

The three children were born before the marriage to William 

Joseph and Levi Hindle both baptised 1849, mother Rose.

I wonder if this is the death:

Burial March 17th 1849
William Shackleton 41 yrs address Branch House Newsholme.

The district where Rose lives covers Newsholme according to the enumerator's description.

I need to look into this a bit more.

Rose was married to James Stell in 1852 and they had three children; Thomas, Maria (my 2x great grandmother who married Stephen Hey) and William.
