Hi Geoff. From the marriages at Wisbech St. Peter:

LDS-Film: 1040589Item 2No. 476
28 OCT 1795Banns
WilliamTAYLORXBachelorLeverington (7), CAM
AliceSHACKLOCK [20]XSpinsterWisbech St. Peter
Witnesses: John Cabb ? & Elizabeth Marshal X

(7) Leverington Parson Drove, CAM
[20] SHUCKLOCK


This is the only SHACKLOCK which I think I have. What a parish to begin
research.

Also just enter the surname in this index.

There are only seven hits. Six being for a family at Wisbech St. Peter.
Your John could be the son of John & Susanna SHACKLOCK.
