Marriage Notes for David Shaw\Elisabeth Shaw:


Notes for David Shaw:

!According to marriage register for son, Robert Shaw, David was a laborer, but was already dead in 1873.

Possible parent of 'my' Robert Shaw.

All 5 children are listed together in the register, which lists everything 'by family'. Seems to imply that either this is not the original register (i.e. copied from another register or something?).
