> I wouldn't have said that BLACKSHAW was that unusual in Cheshire (remember
> the Cheshire IGI only gives about 20% coverage, if that). There were
> BLACKSHAWs in Marton (nr CApesthorne) from at least 1831 (Ann, John,
Joseph,
> Samuel, Sarah, Thomas, William). Thomas BLACKSHAW had the Davenport Arms
in
> MArton. There was a Jon BLACKSHAW in Mutlow from 1847-1864, and a Sarah
and
> Thomas BLACKSHAW in Siddington in 1831, at Hazle Wall Farm, and Turnock
Farm
> respectively.

> Samuel BLACKSHAW at Marton had his house broken into in May 1853. Ann
> BLACKSHAW of Marton died on 8 Dec 1865, and her pension of 5 shillings
> stopped on that date. There was a John BLACKSHAW living at the Oak, Marton
> in 1873.

> The monumental inscriptions for Marton have been transcribed, altho' I'm
