Am looking for any information regarding William Francis Shatford, born London England, 31 Jan 1796, died Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, 8 Apr 1878. William served in the Royal Navy aboard H.B.M.S. Java where he was taken prisoner by U.S.F. Constitution during a sea battle off the coast of Brazil on 29 Jan 1812. William was 16 years old at that time. Java's crew returned to England in April,1813. William was 17 years old at that time. William married Elizabeth Sally Richardson in Nova Scotia 19 Nov 1822 so his arrival there had to be prior to that date.
