When Sally Shuttleworth was born in 1772, her father, William Shuttleworth, was 39 and her mother, Ann Sowerbutts, was 33. She married Henry Forrest on 4 December 1798, in Blackburn, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 5 sons and 4 daughters.
English (Lancashire and Yorkshire): habitational name mostly from one or other of three places called Shuttleworth in Lancashire, though occasionally from Shuttleworth, now Littleworth, in Rossington (Yorkshire), or Shuttlewood in Bolsover (Derbyshire). The Lancashire and Yorkshire placenames derive from Old English scyt(t)els ‘bolt, bar’, probably also meaning ‘something that can be barred or bolted’, + worth ‘enclosure’, while the Derbyshire placename comes from Old English scyt(t)els + wudu ‘wood’.
