Volume 1, No. 1, April 1974
Pages 1-4
This was the first newsletter that went out to the Shackelton and Shackleton families. Membership was $3.00 a year to receive the newsletter. Bernice decided to do these newsletters to let all the families know about the news and information that came across her desk. She made additions and corrections to her book, included pictures of family members and told us how other family members were doing.
I realize that Bernice included many birthdates in her information, but I will not include any dates for those that I do not have a death date for. Times have changed since the 1970's and this is the Internet afterall! Please email me personally for any dates that appeared in the book or the newsletters. Sorry for any inconvience that this may cause.
This newsletter included corrections to the book, The Shackletons:
Page 13. This John has been confused with the first John mentioned in the family, and who is said to have been connected with the property and living in the neighborhood in 1532 (p5). Should read: born 1500's. Burke's Barontage gives "John Shackleton, of Shackleton House, Bingley, York born 15- father of Roger Shackleton. The birh of this Johc can be place about 1570. The only other information we have about him is that he married Janet Clapman. (Page 5-"Richard Shackleton, clothier of Newsholme, purchased the Lum Hirst House in 1591) This makes the ownership of the Shackleton house more confusing.
Page 13. The date of Roger Shackleton's birth is correct.
Page 13. Turner in "Ancient Bingley" mentions but 1 wife, Elizabeth and lists Richard as her son. George Shackleton of Clonborne, Ireland reports two marriages; he lists Richard as the son of the first wife-Mary Roper.
Page 6. The Ancestry Chart differs from the records used. This Chart is a later research work done by a William Shackleton, but not accepted by Lord Shackleton or George Shackleton.
Page 17. Should read-Children of Roger and Jane (Readshaw) Shackleton:
Page 19. Abraham Shackleton born 27, viii, 1696 (not '69)
Page 66. Should read-of Burley, co. Southampton (comma omitted) According to Mrs. M. Sparks, Genealogy Staff of TRI-STATE-TRADER, there is no such county in Burley. Southamption is in the county of Hampshire.
Page 59. (footnote omitted)*Tulsa Newspaper, Dec. 1, 1957 is in error. Sir Ernest Shackleton is buried at South Georgia. See SHACKLETON AND THE ANARCTICE by Margery and James Fisher page 481. "On 5 March Shackleton was buried in the cemetery at Grytviken, South Georgia, after a service in the Lutheran church at which Mr. Binnie, the English magistrate, officiated. No congregation of uniformed dignitaries and ministers of state here, but sailors and whaling captains; no military escort, but a company of hard-working, hard-handed men walking over the tussocks after a coffin carried by ex-service men from the Shetlands who were working in Leith Harbor. On the grave was wreath of flowers made by Mrs. Aarberg, the only woman on the Island; it kept company with the bronze wreaths from the British and Uruguayan governments, which Hussey had brought from Montevideo, hanging on the simple wooden cross which had been made in Grytviken. Hussey represented his shipmates of the QUEST at the funeral, for the ship had already steamed off towards the ice."
