What I used to say "was not clear if related to Lankshear. Obviously the name is so close to ours and I am delighted to keep records for this family" Of course the name LANKSHEAR is just a spelling evolution from the county name LANCASHIRE.

and then 3/2011 I took the spelling of
1713 Robert LANCHISHEAR marriage to Frances DAWSON born 1686 - the first marriage in the linked LANKSHEAR tree.
and checked it for exact on the new https://www.familysearch.org/
and there was 1725 burial in Lovington Somerset of Elizabeth Lanchishear

I thought that is very exact spelling and looked for Robert himself.

Well not exactly the spelling but very close and very near Lovington was
1686 baptism Robert LANCHASHEIRE in Castle Cary, Somerset - 1686 same year as his future bride Frances. This is only Robert with our name in any spelling variation born end of 17th century that I can find. This makes sense. I've decided it is our man.

Looks like his father is also Robert and at a quick scan Robert's have been in Castle Cary all the 1600s.

This means I think LANKSHEAR and LANKESHEER share a common ancestor. Perhaps Robert from Castle Cary. I am now investigating all appearances of LANCASHIRE type spellings in Somerset and LANKESHEER anywhere.

1841 Architect Lankesheer for Church in Malta from the Times and 2012 more about Richard Titus Lankesheer INDEPENDENT online
Quote " The last construction project with which Scamp became involved in his short stay in Malta was the Anglican pro-cathedral. On 20 March 1839, Queen Dowager Adelaide (widow of King George IV) laid the foundation stone of the new cathedral but the person entrusted with the design and supervision of the new church, Richard Titus Lankesheer, the superintendent of civil artificers, was a cabinet-maker by profession without any great experience in such construction projects.

Lankesheer plans for the church were derived from the churches of St Mary-le-Strand and St Martin-in-the-Fields but his apparent lack of understanding of local construction methods and the properties of local limestone led to grief. Cracks and splits began to appear in the unfinished building and Lankesheer died suddenly at the age of 38, with many rumours that he had committed suicide."
