Biography

Ireland Native
Thomas Shovelin was born in Ireland.

Thomas was born about 1798 in Dublin, Ireland.[1] He travelled to England to work as a carpenter, possibly in the London theatre district.[2]

He was married to Mary (possibly Fawcett) before 1826. If this event occurred in Ireland, the records may no longer exist.

By 1826 they were living at 140 Drury Lane, Westminster, in England.[3]

They had 4 children:

George (1826 - 1858), born at Drury Lane, London.
William Fawcett (1829 - 1959), born at sea
Jane (1833 - 1899), believed to be London born
Unidentified child, possibly stillborn (1841) born London.

After the death of Mary in February 1841, he may or may not have married Mary Ann Whitbread Green, who was born in rural Essex, England, about 1826.

They had three more children:

Thomas Charles (1851 - 1892)[4]
Daniel or David (1854 - 1908)
Mary Ann (1860 - 1862)

He was committed to the St Pancras Workhouse on 7 May 1868.[5] He died there during 1869.[6]

Her burial record in the St Pancras burial ground on 8 February 1841, gives her age as 35. It also transcribes her name as Thievelin. The later is more likely to be her correct age at death.[8]
