Title: WW1 grave
Post by: Suzy W on Monday 11 November 13 19:54 GMT (UK)

Good morning

I am looking for Enoch Edward Shaw who died 21 Sep 1918 (France and Flanders) British.. Nothing is coming up on the Commonwealth war graves for this man.
Can someone please have a little look for just in case I am doing something wrong?

Was he Essex regiment? If you search by surname and initial E only - not by two initials  you will get what I think is him.
best Wishes on this Remembrance day.

I just wanted to say I wasn't being lazy in my reply but thought that the original poster would want to be able to find the entry herself as she had previously searched so I didn't type it all out.
Best wishes

Hi Suzy, there is a tree on Ancestry with a lovely photo of him as a young boy, I see he was from my home town, Wolverhampton.

If you search Enoch Edward Shaw b. 1900 Wolverhampton it should be top of the list, the tree is Gibbons Family Tree

Suzy,

May I inquire as to your interest in Enoch Edward Shaw?  Are you related? He is a distant cousin of mine.  His mother, Julia Gibbons, is the younger sister of my great-grandmother Annie Gibbons.  Julia died in 1905 and Enoch's father re-married.

Enoch Edward would be the grandson to Lavinia Merricks and Enoch Shaw..The Merricks side I trace, I have added children and grandchildren for each family member
