Research Notes
2026-05-31: Sheckelton/Derenzy line needs source review. Current tree gives birth 9 Jul 1850 in Australia, but father John Shekleton senior has Irish death/probate/burial hints in Collon/Ardee, County Louth. Need primary birth/baptism evidence for John De Renzy Shekleton and proof of any Ireland-to-Australia migration.
2026-05-31: NSW birth-index hint attached to John D Shekleton appears to be for his child William H D Shekleton (registration 29855), not direct proof of John De Renzy Shekleton's own 1850 birth.
2026-06-01: Luke Rohde corrected the local portrait attribution: john_de_renzy_shekleton_1850_portrait_local.jpeg shows John De Renzy Shekleton, not William Hope Sheckelton.
