Thanks Jimmy

do you think that is Thomas that marries Emily?

Don't know but I havn't been able to find Thomas and Anne after 1881

Here are all of the Thomas Shakespeares bapt at Brierley Hill between 1820-1840:

1828 22-Jun Thos Shakespeare Son of Danl & Sarah, Brockmoor, Blacksmith
1829 12-Apr Thos Shakespeare Son of Thos & Mary Anne, West Bromwich, Collier
1832 18-Oct Thomas Shakespeare Son of Elijah & Mary Anne, Brierley Hill, Collier

There do not appear to be burials for any of them at Brierley Hill up to about 1890.

Thomas Shekerpen 22. Blacksmith.
Margaret Shekerpen 28.

All born Kingswinford.

West Midlands Marriage indexes for the years: 1847.
SHAKESPEAR Thomas. WILLIAMS Margaret. Wordsley, Holy Trinity. Dudley Register Office. 018/002/468.

This marriage would probably rule out one of them if his father is named.

Thomas & Margaret lived at Harts Hill (which is in Dudley!) - Thomas was a Blacksmith - their last child that I have any record of was bapt 1867 at Brierley Hill (think all of their children were bat there)

I thought we could rule out the one married to Margaret...as he dies..

Yes, but knowing who his father is from his marriage would reduce the list of possibles.
