suggests that William Shirley migrated to America, but that brother
Jonathan did not. Thus we have some confusion.

Children of Jonathan Shirley and Ann of Calverton Bucks
100. WILLIAM SHIRLEY (Josephine's great-great-uncle) was born
about 1835 in Calverton, Buckinghamshire to Jonathan Shirley
140 and Ann Shirley 141. In 1861, he was an engine fitter and
had married Maria Smith, a lacemaker,, in 1856. They had one
daughter, Ann (b 1858), and lived in Middle Weald, a hamlet near
Calverton. The family moved to Crewe sometime before 1871 and
lived at iIn Flag Lane, Coppenhall MonksMonks Coppenhall. William
worked as a machinist and by then had had three more children,
Samuel (b. 1864), John (b. 1867) and Albert (b. 1869). They were
still in Flag Lane in 1881 and by thenat that time Samuel was
an apprentice in an iron works, and John was an apprentice grocer.
In 1891 John and Albert were still living with their parents,
John having become a grocer's assistant whilst Albert was a steam
engine fitter. The 1901 census shows that Maria had returned
to Calverton following the death of her husband in 1894 and lived
with her father, William Smith - who by was then was 94.
101. JOSEPH SHIRLEY (Josephine's great-great-uncle) was born
about 1841 in Calverton, Buck-inghamshire to Jonathan Shirley
140 and Ann Shirley 141. In 1861, he was an engine smith. He
moved to Coppenhall MonksMonks Coppenhall, Crewe before 1871
and was an engine turner. By then he had married Eliza Meacham
from Stony Stratford and had three children, William George (b.
1864), Rose Emma (b. 1866) and Frances (b. 1870). The 1881 census
shows them living 210 West St, Crewe, with William having become
an apprentice engine fitter and Rose Emma working as a finisher
in a clothing factory; n the meantime another child had been
born, Ada Hannah, in 1877. Sadly, Ada died in 1883 and by 1891
all the other children had left home, and so Joseph and Eliza
lived alone at 41 Ford Lane, Crewe. Both Joseph and Eliza died
in 1910.
102. SAMUEL SHIRLEY (Josephine's great-great-uncle) was born
about 1843 in Calverton, Buckinghamshire to Jonathan Shirley
140 and Ann Shirley 141. In 1861 he was a carpenter and still
living with his parents. In 1864 he had moved to London and married
Elizabeth Rosina Francis, from Pimlico. In 1891 they lived in
18 Anhalt Rd, Battersea and had two children; Frederick (b. 1881)

103. GEORGE SHIRLEY (Josephine's great-great-uncle) was born
about 1845 in Calverton, Buckinghamshire to Jonathan Shirley
140 and Ann Shirley 141. In 1861, he worked as a general servant.
In 1870 George married Sarah Pritchard Mann in London and they
both worked as launderers in Chelsea, Unfortunately Sarah died
in 1872, possibly whilst giving birth to their son, George. George
Senior, ,, clearly not a man to stay single for long, married,
married Rose Faulkner on 22 Mar 1873. Rose came from Oxted in
Surrey but it's interesting to note that they shared the same
address on the wedding certificate - Montgomery House, Glebe
Place, Chelsea. In 1891 they were still in Glebe Place but by
then had had two more children; Arthur (b. 1874) and Mary Margaret
(b. 1879). Rose's father, Edward, also lived with them. By 1901
they had moved to Jasmine Villas, Datchet, Berkshire with their
daughter. George is recorded as having no occupation in the census.
Both Rose and George died in 1902.
104. FREDERICK SHIRLEY (Josephine's great-great-uncle) was
born about 1847 in Calverton, Buckinghamshire to Jonathan Shirley
140 and Ann Shirley 141. In 1871 he was a coachman for the Earl
of Carysfort at Elton Hall, Cambridgeshire. Frederick married
Caroline Gawthorp Kitchingman (who was born in Leeds and the
daughter of a bookmaker) on 24 Aug 1875, when they both lived
at Montgomery House, Glebe Place, Chelsea (the same address as
Frederick's brother George). The 1881 census records them as
having two children; Harry (b. 1879) and Minnie (b. 28 Dec 1879).
By thenBy then Frederick was working as a licensed victualler
at the Devonport Arms, Devonport Mews, Paddington, London. One
more child, Lizzie was born in 1884 but tragically Frederick
died the same year. The 1891 census shows that Caroline moved
to 21 Marville Rd, Fulham with the children, and the pub was
taken over by Spencer Chaplin - the grandfather of Charlie Chaplin.
Caroline found employment as a needlewoman and the 1901 census
records her as still at the same address, but now employing her
daughter Lizzie as a dressmaker. Caroline died in 1910 and Lizzie
went on to marry Eli Lingfield, a travelling salesman, on 11
Apr 1914. Harry became a carpenter, and Minnie became a dressmaker.
She, who is last recorded in the 1901 census when she was visiting
her uncle, Edward Shirley, in Stoke Prior, Worcestershire.
105. HANNAH SHIRLEY (Josephine's great-great-aunt) was born
about 1850 in Calverton, Buckinghamshire to Jonathan Shirley
140 and Ann Shirley 141. She is recorded in the 1871 census as
living with her brother George and his family at Montgomery House,
Glebe Place, Chelsea and working as a domestic servant. By 1881
she had moved to Pinner and was living and working as a domestic
servant at the Royal Commercial Travellers School at Hatch End.

140 and Ann Shirley 141. In 1871, he was a schoolteacher in Calverton.
