Dear Listers, I am trying to trace the Shaw part of my family in Bective, County Meath, Ireland. So far I have managed to trace my great-grandmother, Helen (or Ellen) Elizabeth Shaw, who was born in Ireland in approximately 1867. Her father's name was James Shaw, he was a public and (according to Helen's wedding certificate). He also ran an animal feeds business from his home in Bective. I also remember my grandfather talking of visits to the Shaw family home in Bective roundabout the early 1900s. He mentioned one of Helen's brothers, or possibly a cousin, called Harry Shaw. Additionally in the 1901 senses for Salford, England, Helen is now married, a Robert V Shaw is mentioned as a lodger with Helen and her husband. Born in Ireland, in approximately 1869. I assume this to be her brother or a cousin. Do any of the above names mean anything to anybody. Failing this can anybody give me any advice as to how I can trace the family from England, if at all possible.
