    What famous Nightingale's father was actually a Shore before he became a Nightingale?

    		William Nightingale (known also as W.E.N.) was born William Edward Shore. His mother Mary née Evans was the niece of one Peter Nightingale, a lead mining entrepreneur, under the terms of whose will William Shore inherited his estate Lea Hurst in Derbyshire, but also assumed the name and arms of Nightingale in 1815. He was of course father to Florence, the most famous Nightingale of them all.
