John Shakeshaft-1377 [Parents] was born about 1763 in , , England. He married Mary-1378.

INFORMATION from Frank Shakeshaft (email May 2002). Birth date my estimate.

NOTE from Frank Shakeshaft (email Dec 2004) . In Old Bradwell, Bucks there was a marriage on 12 Oct 1774 of John Shakeshaft (c 14 Oct 1750) to Mary Tebbutt. They had a son Thomas (c.3 Oct 1778) who lived only two days, a daughter Ann (c.21 Jan 1781). They then disappear from the records and may be the couple who appear in Cosgrove. If so Mary's birth date would need to go back to at least 1758 and this would fit well with other known sibling birth dates. If this is true then John's parents were Francis Shakshaft (stet) and Mary Albright and Mary's parents were Thomas and Ann. However Allan Smith has suggested that Thomas (b.1730) and Sophia may be John's parents, which would make the dates very tight.

NOTE for more detail see Shakeshaft file.
