Hi
I am trying to find out more about Richard Shackleton Pope born 1792 Woburn Bedfordshire England
 Siblings sister Sarah Pope born 1793 Woburn Bedfordshire England
              Sister Maria Pope 1794
We believe their parents were Thomas Pope who married Sarah  but what was her surname some have Cox some think Shackleton some think Cobb
 Any information would be great.
Regards Bolton

As per Woburn Parish Register....

Thomas Pope married Sarah Shackleton on 22 July 1789 by licence (but not in licence transcript)

Sarah, daughter of Thomas & Sarah Pope, born 8 Aug 1790, baptised 4 Oct 1790

Richard Shackleton, son of James & Sarah Pope, born 23 Mar 1792, baptised 24 Nov 1792

Maria, daughter of Thomas & Sarah Pope, born 8 Aug 1794, baptised 4 Oct 1790

Burial of Sarah, wife of Thomas Pope on 30 Nov 1802

There is also burials of Edwin, son of Thomas & Sarah Pope on 2 Dec 1799 & of Henry, son of Thomas & Sarah Pope on 8 Feb 1803 - but no baptisms in Woburn. However there is baptism of Edwin Pope in nearby Husbourne Crawley in 1796, FamilySearch records that baptism on 14 Oct 1796, son of Thomas & Sarah Pope.

Cheers John

You might like to look at the Woburn Heritage Centre site for info about the church:

https://woburnheritagemuseum.co.uk/


The then church, now the heritage centre, is on the main (London) road (from the A5 at Hockliffe to Newport Pagnell and then to Northampton) running through Woburn so depending on where in Woburn the Popes lived the church at HC may have been less distance to walk when they were baptising Edwin and Henry.
