William Shawcross 1749 Derby,England
I have recently found William Shawcross(1749) to be the father of Luke (1785 in Cheshire) and Martha (1783 Mottram,Cheshire) in my searches for William ADSHEAD.
William ADSHEAD mother Mary Shawcross( July 1819) had him before she married his father Thomas ADSHEAD in 1839 at St,Marys Church, Cheadle,Cheshire.
Marys father was Luke Shawcross(1785) and her mother was either Fanny or Ann Bruckshaw.William Shawcross was her grandfather.
I found most of them in 1841/1851 census in Padden Brook,Romily,Cheshire.
If any of these names ring a bell please get in touch.
