Looking for George and Mary Shaw a boat builder of Banburyshire and his son John

see also Looking for John Shaw of Banbury possibles

From Banbury list 3/2008 There is a baptism on 27 April 1800 at Banbury of a John SHAW, son George & Mary, Boat-builder.

But no marriages for any of them This could be my John - a late baptism or perhaps he married very young.

But it seems not in Banbury.

Index checked for George to Mary and John to Elizabeth

Many Thanks to Len for checking but nothing found

  • Oxfordshire Marriage Index
  • Northants Marriage Index
  • Gloucestershire Marriage Index

Can only eliminate one source for you: there is no reference to George
SHAW in the 'Index of Probate Records of Oxfordshire 1733-1857 and
the Oxfordshire Peculiars 1547-1856' published by the Oxfordshire
Record Society.Pity,RosemaryNorthumberland UK

Ron looked at Wills at TNA at Kew but nothing good

Suggestions

That leaves Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire as prime targets and just possibly Worcestershire (the part where Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire meet). Good luck Len

There are many parishes in south Warwickshire that are not in the IGI. If you look at http://www.hunimex.com/warwick/opc/igi.html
You will see a list of the missing parishes, and some alternative sources of information. It is my impression that north Oxfordshire has even more parishes missing from the IGI. You can find out what parishes are in the IGI by looking at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm

Worstead Worcestershire as per Elizabeth in 1851

  • an alternative perhaps they moved around Worcs and Banbury
  • and there are a couple of events
  • JOHN SHAW Marriages: Spouse: ELIZABETH GUY  07 MAR 1802 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester,
  • well that would be too early for a John baptised 1800 and I suppose Elizabeth in 1816 was the first child
  • So I'd say this is connected with above and a lot of Shaw in Dudley for 1841 1851 census
  • GEORGE SHAW Marriages: Spouse: MARY WICK  04 MAY 1784 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester, England
