My Shirley family comes from the Isle of Wight. I can only go back to 1774-John Shirley(hampshire, IOW), he had a son named James born 1801(Hampshire IOW), who married Sarah Salter, they had a son James born 1828 who married Fanny Atkins, they had a son named Frank who married Mary Perkins, (they moved to canada) who had Harry who is my grandfather.
Do any of these names come up in your Shirley history, any relations?? or is this another line of shirleys??
I would love to know for sure.
Many thanks for your time
