Welcome to the boards, Chris.

As you've noticed, this is a very old thread, and Louise (on behalf of her friend) won't be looking for replies here now.

You can try sending her a private message (click on her name in green at the top of one of her posts, and use the resulting form).
GR will then notify her that there's a message for her in the system, and If she has kept GR informed of any change in her email address, she'll be able to access it and reply.
No guarantees - there are lots of reasons why she may not be able or willing to receive, read, or reply to a message after so long.

If she does reply, there'll be an email from GR, which might go into your junk email, so keep an eye on that.

Late to the party here, but Anthony Shipley is/was my grandfather. His grandfather was indeed Charles Orby Shipley. Feel free to reach out, I have lots of interesting stuff I can share and would be delighted to hear from you. Chris Le Neve Foster

1901 is the family I posted earlier.........for the child born in 1893

So it all dovetails nicely. Charles was obviously elsewhere...........possibly involved in the Boer War

Basil being born as SLAUGHTER was an important piece of info! :)

2 WWII enlistments for Basil:

SLAUGHTER BASIL CHARLES : Service Number - WX41140 : Date of birth - 17 Mar 1924 : Place of birth - LONDON ENGLAND : Place of enlistment - IN THE FIELD WA : Next of Kin - READ GRACE

SLAUGHTER BASIL CHARLES : Service Number - W75157 : Date of birth - 17 Mar 1924 : Place of birth - Unknown : Place of enlistment - MOORA WA : Next of Kin - READ E

I wonder who E READ & Grace READ were? No marriage or death in WA found, and he did not die in the war.

Wow
I am so impressed with your reply, I have not replied through threads before, only direct to the member. Basil Charles Slaughter (Shipley) came out in 1931 to Fremantle Western Australia. I got this info from findmypast. He was the result of an affair between Charles Orby Shipley and a Agnes Williams (not sure if it is Agnes). My friend has only given me scketchy info on this family. Anthony Shipley was the nephew of Basil Charrles Slaughter. Basil's half brother Conway William Carew died in 1956 at the time Anthony Shipley was a captain in the Royal Artillery Hong Kong. The daughter of Basil said the wife of Charles Orby Shipley was Katherine Carew Ballinamona Waterford, but I think she was Katherine Jane Carew who married Charles Orby Shipley in 1890 in Cheltenham. I have not got back to her as yet. I also found a Conway Carew Shipley death in waterfordcountylibrary as In memory of Major Conway Carew Shipley late 24th Regiment died Seaville Tramore NOv 1st 1956. Graveyard The Abbey Kilcull;iheen Ferrybank Waterford. It also mentions he is the father of Captain Anthony Shipley Royal Artillery, Hong Kong, aged 65., in the Wat. News 9th Nov 1956.
I was taken back when I got these replies, thank you so much. I will get back when I have more information.
Thanks again
