You HAVE to get one of the children's birth certs! This will drive me crazy otherwise!!!

Maureen

the plot thickens,I just can not get my head around this,I wish I had asked my grandparents more questions when they were alive

Could this be the birth reg of the infant Charles T in 1881

Births Dec 1880 (>99%)
SHAKESPEARE Charles Thomas Billericay 4a 279

If Jane was still married to Edward Shakespeare then the birth could have been registered in that name.


Christine

Flo that was her maiden name that I had down see above message

LOL thank you Maureen,when I was doing my tree last year the name Mererdith came up,but now I have pick up my tree again Im not sure how the name came about,still if it is what you are saying about married before,so I am related to William Shakespear

I don't know what I'm saying!!! Just wondering if Jane had maybe been married before and William and Henry weren't Browns. The ages and birthplaces for Jane and the boys are spot on.

Fanny Drew was a servant.

How did you come up with Meredith,by the way??

I'll let some of the others mull this over as I think I have blinders on now.

Maureen

thank you Christine blimey 12 yrs old

Fanny Drew was a servant, no relation.

Christine

who was Fanny Drew a niece or other relation

Sory Maureen is it me or are you saying that they used the name Shakespear ??

Why maybe Meridith??

Funny you should come up with that name,because I've been obsessing over this bunch and trying to make something fit:
