James SHELL and Lucy SHEWRING, born about 1755
« on: Sunday 18 March 18 18:35 GMT (UK) »
Can anyonehelp me find the births, parents and siblings of James and Lucy?

James and Lucy married in 1779 in Corsham - she being ofthe parish, he being a dweller in the parish.  They had 14 children in Box, the last one being born in 1805.
 
I’m not 100% sure of James and Lucy’s deaths, but IF they are the couple who were buried on the same day in Feb 1837 in Badwick (bathwick?), Box, she would have had her eldest child when she was 51 ... which seems rather old.  It would also mean that she was born in 1754 and he in 1757.  Can anyone help me find their parents and any siblings?

If it helps, their children’s names were Isaac, Mary Ann, Catherine, Jacob, William, William (again) Lucy, Maria, James, Rose Hannah, Isaac (again), Samuel, George Gullick, John. (Some children died, hence having multiple children given the same name).

I also can’t find what happened to Maria b1794, James b1796 and Rose Hannah  b1797, although James was in the British Army in Canada when he was 16.

Any help greatly appreciated.
