This probably won't really help, but I wonder if Shawensha could be a mistranscription of Shannaburn?

I note the children’s baptisms on SP except George, it seem quite a gap between the first two?

IRVINE   ISABEL   WILLIAM IRVINE   24/11/1769   FETTERESSO
IRVINE   JAMES   WILLIAM IRVINE/JANET THOM   14/01/1778   MARYCULTER

IRVINE   CHRISTIAN   WILLIAM IRVINE/JANET THOM   01/12/1782   MARYCULTER

JANNET THOM   BAPTISED    JOHN THOM/ISOBELL SIMPSON   15/07/1750   ST MADOES

Possible but would need further research.

Seems odd that they would have two children born in different parishes in the same year?

I have a William Irvine (my GG Grandfather) born 1808 in Menmuir, Angus, Married Isobella Aitken b 1816 in Careston, Brechin, Angus. They were married in August 1836 in Menmuir.
They had the following children -
Robert Irvine b 1837
William Irvine b 1839
Martha Irvine b 1832
Matilda Irvine b 1836
Charles I b 1854
Helen Carnegy Irvine b 8 June 1855 (My G Grandmother)
George Irvine b 18 January 1857
Annie Anderson Irvine b 10 September 1859

Helen had 5 children to different fathers, and never married any of them !!
David Wallace Irvine b 4 March 1874
William Irvine b 26 April 1876
Allan Irvine b 27 November 1879
James Irvine b 25 December 1881 (My Grandfather)
Isabella Bruce Aitken Irvine b 22 July 1889

I believe David and Allan emigrated to Australia.

James married Susan Jane Stronner 0n 31 Dec 1908 in Montrose
They had 5 Children
Susanna Taylor Dunn Officer Irvine
David Wallace Irvine (my Father)
John Stronner Irvine
James Alexander Hutcheon Stewart Irvine
Nelly Mary Grant Irvine

John and James both died in the great flu epidemic of 1918, aged 4 and 2.

David married Martha Begg Gove in 1943, and had a little Girl who was born extremely premature and only lived 2 or 3 days.  James (me!) was born in 1947

I don't know if this fits in with any of your Irvines or not.  Most of them seem to be from the Brechin/Montrose area, so a bit further south than your ones
