All the above posts are all correct. My 2x Gt Grandfather was William Nelson Shilstone Sometimes spelt Shelston plus other variations.
He married 3 times. His first wife i do not know her name but they had a daughter Indianna (Judianna) born 21st August 1834.In Calcutta. Maybe the mother died after the birth. Would love to know the name of the mother.
His second marriage was to Mary Ann North (my 2x Gt Grandmother) who was very young and died in 1850
The 3rd Marriage was to Louisa Rodyk
Thanks for all the help
