IVENS and STALEY

Elizabeth LANKSHEAR married Martin Ivens of  Northampton

Finally confirmed that Elizabeth married John STALEY in 1777 and
then Martin IVENS 21 March 1792 at Aston Le Walls

SHAW

Shaw Family Documents

I found out some more about my great grand mother in Banbury - folk on that list very helpful

But tracing the marriage of father John SHAW to an Elizabeth is difficult and also John's possible father George to a Mary

SKEGGS family from Hertfordshire

SKEGGS family from Hertfordshire

Ron's grandmother's family - I thought they were in Canada well before Nan was born there but have now found them in Wales and also some new children born in UK so I can order a birth certificate and find out the maiden of Nan's mother who was also an Elizabeth Sarah.

Frances Lankshear born around 1826

I only know Frances from a census entry - I would guess her as a sister of Thomas but nothing else known. Actually Anthony in his research had Thomas born October 1811 and I have never found anything to support that.

1841 Thomas Lankshear census with Jane and Frances

I am now thinking that Frances was shown incorrectly with Lankshear surname by enumerator and she was most likely a servant of another name

1871 Thomas Lankshear living with Emma and her son Henry in Chiswick

A sad story but Thomas Lankshear found in 1871 Thomas Lankshear living with Emma and her son Henry in Chiswick
whereas his wife
1871 census Jane LANKSHEAR (nee Barrow) wife of Thomas visiting her brother in law
