Thanks for the info. I think if I could find Arthur's marriage certificate, it might give me some of the info I need. Now that September is upon us, I will pick up my research again.

Yes, I have gone over that site with a fine tooth comb, and while I have been able to find possible siblings for Arthur Shaw, I cannot find my John Shaw. Of course there's a chance that he wasn't born or married in County Down & just moved there later. I know there's quite a few Shaws (many of them named John) in Antrim as well.

Thanks for the quick reply. My visiting Belfast in the near future is probably not on the cards, but I will definitely follow all the other evidence you dug up for me. Thanks very much.

Down / John Shaw, Newtownards early 1800s
« on: Saturday 28 July 12 17:31 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on John Shaw, possibly born around 1801 in County Down.
He was father to Arthur Shaw, and possibly Jane and Robert.
Arthur Shaw, b ~ 1831 married Margaret Townsley, b. 1835, of Magherascouse, Comber, Co. Down, 2 Feb 1854, in the 1st Presbyterian Church, Comber. Margaret was daughter of Robert Townsley of Comber.
Possible siblings of Arthur include:
Miss Jane SHAW, daughter of John Shaw ; aged 23 married Archibald Stewart 5 Dec 1853 in Newtownards
Robert SHAW, son of John Shaw ; married Mary Sharpe 19 Feb 1853 in Bangor

Arthur was born in Drumhirk, Newtownards, and Jane was married from Newtownards, which is why I hope they may be siblings.
Arthur & Margaret emigrated with their family (two young sons) to Ontario, Canada in 1860.

I have got much information off Ros Davies site but have not been able to find my John Shaw. I have hit a brick wall and any help would be greatly appreciated.
