Looking for date of birth and death of Isabel W. Shackford. Believe she was the daughter of Charles Harrison Shackford, physician in Somersworth who moved to Chelsea. Think that Isabel was born in Somersworth and pretty sure she was buried there. Think she lived with her brother's children for a while while they were older.

Mrs. W. H. Parrish

New information shows that the above William Strafford is not the one in my line. Actually William Randolph Strafford, b. July 22, 1886 in Cascade, Iowa is the ancestor I would like to exchange information about. He died in Indianapolis, Indiana, August 1969. His birth certificate shows father is John William Strafford who came from England and mother is Berthy Manley from Switzerland.

Son, William Cleveland Strafford, b. May 8, 1906 d. March, 1972 in Plainfield, Indiana.
