Frances Shackell

[Raylen]

Hi everyone.

This is a bit of a long shot but I'm hoping someone can find me a marriage for Frances (Fanny) Shackell.  Born abt 1826 in Hampshire and possibly married George Woolford. He may have been married previously to Sarah(?)
They possibly had 3 children.  William Henry b abt 1846, George b abt 1860 and Eliza b abt 1867.  Not too sure about the children given the wide age difference.
Any information about dates and census details would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Raylen

This could be Frances before her marriage.  You would need to get the marraige certificate to confirm the name of her father - but this looks quite a good prospect!

I was wondering if anyone can help me with details of the births of the William Henry b abt 1846, George b abt 1860 and Eliza b abt 1867- children of Fanny Shackell and George Woolford.
Going by the census information posted by others here, George and Eliza were born in Kensington and William was born in Hanswell.

Any help appreciated

Hi Raylen

From the Free BMD site http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

This could be George

Births Jun 1859   
WALFORD  George Hugo     Kensington  1a 79

and this Eliza

Births Dec 1866   
Woolford  Eliza E     Kensington  1a 132

I can't find anything for William at the moment.  He may have been registered as Shackell if born before the marriage but I still can't find him.  If he was born in Hanwell then the Reg District is Brentford.

Why do you think he was a William Henry?

This looks like William's birth - the parents presumably had not decided on a name for him.

From Free BMD
Births Jun 1846   
WOOLFORD  Male    Brentford  3 *

I have checked the full birth index to check the reference and I believe it is Brentford 3 2
