re; The Shellakers of Lyndon / Loddington - Updated information - Part 2

[David Leedham]

Hi All

Further details of relating to Lyndon folk as I discovered last Wednesday
that the Rev Nevinson, Rector of Lyndon 1889-1909, had neatly transcribed
the parish records into a book. So in addition to viewing the stained and
barely legible microfiche records of various quality I could also look at
his neatly written version for confirmation of all Shellaker entries.

- There are no additional 'Shelacres' within Rev Nevinson book which had not
already been found - 38 in total

- 1683 - Thomas Shelacres (son of Elizabeth and Richard) was baptised on 1st
November 1683. (We were previously unsure on the actual date).
- 1683 - Elizabeth Shelacres (daughter of Elizabeth and Richard) was
baptised on 29th December 1684. (We were previously unsure on the actual
date).
- 1718 - Mary Shellaker (daughter of Richard & Elizabeth Walton) was
baptised on 7th December 1718 NOT the 17th as previously deciphered
- 1730 - Richard Shellaker (son of Richard & Anne Hill) was baptised on 15th
Nov 1730 NOT the 17th or 18th as previously thought.

Hi All

A few updates:

The children of Mary Shellacres and William Walter who married in Lyndon
Rutland on 13th May 1706:

- 26th Sept 1708 - Mary & Elizabeth the daughters of William Walter and Mary
his wife baptised. (Twins? or they were just baptised on the same day)

- 13th Aug 1713 - William the son of William and Mary Walter baptised.


Mary's son William Walter the Younger married Sarah Bull April 2nd 1738 in
Lyndon.

And they had a son William, who was baptised on January 11th 1742 but he was
buried the next month on Feb 6th 1742. (Mary's Grandson).

But they had another son, again named William baptised on Dec 25th. 1744 and
Thomas baptised Jan 2nd 1745. Maybe William & Thomas were twins but William
needed to be baptised urgently so his baptism was the week before. (Mary's
Grandsons)

William Walter senior was buried July 23rd 1741 (Mary Shellacres' husband).
No record of Mary Shelacres' death.

--------------------

The wife of Richard Shelaker of Loddington (born c.1616) right at the top of
the tree was not 'Jane' - it is 'Joan'!

I recently read that in Elizabeth times (and this is just after that period)
half the women in England were named either 'Mary', 'Elizabeth', 'Agnes',
'Joan' or 'Margaret'. So I looked again at the 1646 record and the name is
clearly 'Joan'.

----------------------------

The Elizabeth Shelacres who was born in 1684 was baptised in December, maybe
the 29th but definitely December.
