    1. Edward SHAW and Eliza HENDERSON, m1870's New Brunswick
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Henderson, Shaw, McCavour Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/yNi.2ACEB/5475 Message Board Post: Hello. I am trying to create a family-tree for my newly found step-cousins, and I need to know more about this couple. They are found in the 1881 Census for New Brunswick, living in Saint John, NB. Edward SHAW was born ~1855 and was Age 26, and was born in ENGLAND. Elizabeth SHAW was born ~1855 and was Age 26, and was born in New Brunswick, but she stated she was "Irish." They had a baby daughter, Maggie, b1880, and a Jessie HENDERSON, Age 10, living with them. I suspect that Eliza(beth) HENDERSON might have been born to a HENDERSON couple who migrated from Ireland to New Brunswick in the 1840's. Edward and Eliza SHAW had about 10 children, and I am attempting to create a family tree for one of their younger daughters, Hazel SHAW, b1895 in NB. At her death in MA/USA in 1948, her full name was: Mrs. Hazel (SHAW) (McCAVOUR) (BEDELL) LEWIS, and she was the second wife of my grandfather. With Allan McCAVOUR of New Brunswick, she had a son, Ronald McCAVOUR, born ~1913. With Charles BEDELL of MA/USA, she had four children, Dorothy, Albert, Evelyn, and Shirley BEDELL. (There is a mystery surrounding the birth of Ronald McCAVOUR in Saint John, NB, as both of his parents seem to have abandoned him as an infant, when they "separated." There is a "hint" that he was born with "health problems" and might have been raised by a family member.)
