I don't know if you are still using this site but I am also trying to track down an Albert Shakespeare who married Daisy Bailey in 1919 (My nanny's Aunty). Did you ever have any luck?
I am trying to put together family tree but also track down where they may have been living in the mid to late 20s / early 30s as Nanny believes she lived with them at East Tisted but we cannot trace them to here.

Thank you if you read this.

There was another thread and we found a probable name change from Shakespeare to Brown after 1871 I think.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1231464&px=3

As you will see Terry, Albert was listed as Brown in 1901.

You were actually asked a question at the end of the previous thread but didn't reply to it.

Hi Margaret,I know its all very confusing if you look at previous notes it could be Brown or Shakespeare

Terry

Terry Report 22 Aug 2010 13:07

MargaretM Report 22 Aug 2010 13:02

Who's asking you to pay on FreeBMD?

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 22 Aug 2010 13:01

I can't find the marriage anywhere. She should be Margaret Emma Brown if Albert was a grandson to James & Jane Brown.

Terry

Terry Report 22 Aug 2010 12:55
