Hi Shirl, thanks for this link. I have looked at the records for Oswestry and could not find Shackfield, according to his marriage/banns record he was married in St. Oswald's Oswestry in 1773. The link that you kindly sent me relates to St. Asaph. I assume that St. Oswald's will have their own records, are these available online?

regards

Thanks Carole, Shackfield would appear to be a family name passed down through the generations. Yes there is a family link to the Shackfield that you found, this is the grandson of the Shackfield that I am interested in. There are 3 generations of Shackfield's so far, I would not be surprised if this name goes further back.

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Shackfield Williams a Blacksmith from Oswestry

Shackfield Williams was born in Oswestry and this is where I need some help. Shackfield married Mary Humphries on the 6th Feb 1773 in Oswestry so I estimate his birth to be approximately around 1750.

The hope is once the baptism has been found and his parents have been identified there might be a link to Wales, as the family believe they originate from Wales.

I would appreciate it if someone could kindly check the parish records for Oswestry in an attempt to locate the baptism.

Many thanks.

thanks for the reply, I have miss placed some of my records and the replies have confirmed what I was lead to believe originally. I remember being asked to find out what religion the Murly's followed as this would help to identify a possible church, and it was this that I could not confirm.

I have the completed the line from Emma to my grandmother. The missing piece of information is her birth/baptism date. I have been given the death details of Emma's parents who both died in Mobile. Emma and her brother were then returned to England to live with their grandparents in Dorset sometime between 1866 and 1871.

thanks for your reply

Emma's parents emigrated to America John Murly and Catherine around 1856 and settled in Mobile Alabama. I would like to find the birth/baptism details for Emma who was born in Mobile c1856. I would appreciate some help in locating these records.

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Reginald's birth in Bracknell, Berkshire.

I have passed on the information and the family are very grateful and pleased with what you have found for them.
It has been accepted that they may never find out why Joanna went to Berkshire to have Reginald, who the birth father was and who she was staying with during her pregnancy. Unfortunately as a result of Joanna not being located on the 1891 census they may never find this out.

This topic is now complete

Kind regards

It has not been possible to find the birth certificate, the GRO suggested that as they could not locate the registration that it was possible that it was never recorded. The family were hoping that the baptism could be found which might reveal the birth father's, but it suspected that if the baptism was found it would only record the mothers name.

Linda are you saying that the two dates you found are not linked?
