Still trying to work this puzzle out.

If you could just tell us why you pumped for the most unlikely William Shackleton would help a lot. Would help me as I am really intrigued as to why you think this one is the one.
There are so many others that would fit the bill, just seems strange why you have gone for the one most unlikely

Having already spent £10 on the certificate I have, I don't really want to waste more money.

Sadly, we all do this at some time or another. However, it isn't sufficient reason to adopt him as an ancestor.

For the benefit of anyone thinking of using some of the information posted on this thread to use in their family history research please read the below first.

William Shackleton was born 1808 bap 1812 to Joseph Shackleton & Sally Emmott.
William's residence at his death is recorded at Branch House, Newsholme & was buried at Keighley 17 March 1849. Rose is at the White House in 1851, Branshaw Moor House 1861 & White House, Lower Holme House 1871.
All these addresses are actually the same place, and it is still there today although now with extensions. It was a small cottage that stood on the edge of Branshaw Moor in the boundary of Newsholme, on Holme House Lane.
The William that died in 1851 Micklethwaite has no connection to the William Shackleton of Newsholme.
