Wonder if  the wife of Henry Shanklin was Eva Raine Smith born 1895 Croscdale, Durham and not Cumberland 

There were 4 children born to Shanklin - Smith at Wigton.

Henry born June 1921 died in WW2 - 10b 1250

a daughter "I" born March 1923 (10b 1085)  - married September 1950 (1a 547 - Wigton)

A son "C" born December 1929 (10b 629) - married Sept 1951 (1a510 - Wigton )

a daughter "J" born June 1932 (10b 913) -  possible marriage Q4 1953 to David T Bryant. David T bryant passed away born Q4 Falmouth Somerset passed away December 1955 Falmouth Cornwall - 7a 25
Could have been a daughter born March 1955 to this couple - Falmouth 7a 26

"J" possible remarriage Q4 - Wigton - 1a 337 - Wigton Cumberland.

Check free bmd and it should show you a son and 2 daughters born at Wigton - to the son "C"
1952/1954/1966

Perhaps a son born 1954 to the daughter "I"

A few avenues for you to follow up.

This 1851 census shows Henry with parents John and Catherine in Wigton Cumberland - under the surname Shankland - so it looks like the correct family.
