As I (and Bert) has realized SHACKLOCK is so rare in the Wisbech area
that in all probability your John SHACKLOCK is born in Wisbech c. 1800
and his parents are John and Susanna(h) and this family has it origins
in Nottingham as Steve has suggested. This page should help with the
available resources.

http://contueor.com/wisbech/parishes/wisbechstpeter/index.htm

Found on this page among the resources is this:

Wisbech St. Peter, General Register - Handwritten Transcripts, Available
as a Microfilm copy on LDS Film No. 1040587.

From here you may find the baptism of John SHACKLOCK born c. 1800. This
film may also have the basic marriage entry of John and Susanna.

BTW, John born c. 1800 may be the illegitimate son of a Susanna ?.

I hope this helps.

Alan
