Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Hughes in Froncysyllte
« on: Sunday 24 April 11 21:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm looking for a marriage of a Thomas Hughes to a Susannah in Llangollen area, probably Fron or Glyn Ceiriog? The marriage would have been sometime between 1882 and 1888. Thomas was born in 1864 and Susannah around 1866. She died in August 1888, we think after having a child and is buried in Fron.

I can't find them in the BMD Index, there must be an error in the transcriptions - any help in identifying her would be much appreciated.

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Harry Trent Shacklock
« on: Tuesday 19 April 11 22:41 BST (UK)  »
Looking for any information about Harry Trent, or Harry Trent Shacklock who died aged 19 in Mansfield, in 1875. He was supposed to have been born in Matlock, but we cannot find him in the online records. He doesn't appear to have been registered.

His father may have been Henry Stephen Shacklock who was working in Derbyshire, possibly Dinnington in one of the Censuses, but we have no idea who Harry's mother was. We have assumed that she died soon after he was born since Harry turns up living with his Shacklock relatives in later Census returns, back in Mansfield.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Mystery of Christopher Harcourt Shacklock
« on: Tuesday 19 April 11 14:48 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

We are looking for a baptism record for one Christopher Harcourt Shacklock, born around 1856.

According to the 1861 Census for Mansfield, he was born in Oxford, but there is no birth certificate for him as a Harcourt or a Shacklock, or any other variation on his name.

Family rumours suggest he may have been related to the Harcourt family from the area, or even Augustus Vernon Harcourt from Oxford University, but we have nothing else to go on. By 1871, he had started using the Harcourt part of his name as a middle name and his birth place was entered as 'unknown'. He appears in the Census with Elizabeth Shacklock, who was a spinster and aged 44 at the time he would have been born so it is unlikely that she is his mother and we have no clues as to who his father was.   

So, if there is anybody out there can help by checking the baptism records for Oxford or the Abingdon area for him, or has any other ideas as to why he wasn't registered, we would be forever grateful!
