My Grt Grandfather, Henry Shaw, came out to NZ (not sure when havent found him on shipping lists. He was born in Sheffield abt 1842/44 to A John and Sarah Shaw. John was a knifemaker or cutler (info on Henry's death cert). I have no other info and would dearly like to find some on John and Sarah. I have found several families on the 1841 census that could be them but have an idea that the family may have come out to Australia and then on to NZ but only a hunch. I have no Shaw family to ask. Does anyone know of a family that may have emigrated or of a John and Sarah that had a Henry who emigrated ? Would be very grateful for any help. Best wishes for the New Year Dorothy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
