Hi !!! We are Paul and Louise Shapcott
and one of our hobbies is researching ...

Shapcott Family History

We are working on a general study of the surname Shapcott and other variant ways of spelling the name i.e. - Shapcote, Shipcott etc.

We are gradually gathering information regarding the various sections of the Shapcott family.
There are some definite branches which are starting to link up to form a much bigger family tree.

We have been liaising with several other Shapcott researchers,
and we have put together a large database of information.

We have now registered our interests with “The Guild of One-Name Studies”,
our membership reference is # 4023.

We hope that other Shapcott researchers will wish to join the Shapcott One Name Study Group.

If you share the Shapcott / Shipcott name or have a connection with this family,
and are interested in tracing your family’s history, we would be very happy to try and help you ,
and to share any information we have gathered.

Perhaps you may be able to help us with some new information
regarding your own branch of the family.

We are also interested to discover just how far and wide Shapcotts are dispersed from their homeland of North Devon, and to learn more about their individual stories and ways of life.

We are working hard to put much of the information on this web site onto CD roms,
which can be printed off in book form.
3 CDroms are now available. They are entitled:

The Shapcote Family of Knowstone, Devon
The Shapcott Family of Bishops Nympton, Devon
The Shapcott Family of Looe, Cornwall

For further information on how to obtain these CD’s please click here

We are looking forward to hearing from you .... Please do Contact Us
