Annie Shakeshaft Ancestry Glasgow Scotland

This evening, I am posting an image of a tombstone form Glasgow's Southern Necropolis, near Gorbals, Glasgow.

This records the death of Annie Shakeshaft, wife of Fergus Jardine, on Feb 11th 1865.

Shakeshaft is actually an English name and from the same root as that of Shakespeare; in fact William Shakespeare was sometimes known as Shakeshaft.

A Fergus Jardine and an Annie Shakeshaft were married in Grappenhall Cheshire on9th February 1922. Fergus was born 8th May 1893 in Glasgow, Annie in 1896 in Altrincham, Cheshire. Is it possible the date of Annie’s death in incorrect or are we seeing an amazing coincidence?
