I am related to the Shy butchers from Blyth. My grandmother on my father's side was Winifred Florence Shy, her father was George Charles Shy born in Goole (1868/9), his father George (1844) who came from Kunzelsau. They started in Goole and then in about 1873/4 they apparently were advised to move north. They went to Bylth where I gather they did quite well with George Charles's brother Alfred also opening his own shop. I believe it is his family shop which is the only surviving Shy Butchers in Blyth. I have had a little contact with Alfred's family and I think there was a Shy butcher's shop in Scotland also. if anyone is interested i do have some more info.

Thank you for the latest responses, yes i am registered and I found George but am looking for his wife. I wonder if he met her here rather than came over with her. I will investigate at the weekend when i have more time

Wow, I am overwhelmed with the super fast responses to this post. I think the Lena Krafft marriage is my George. I believe they came from Wutterburg in 186something. I have heard that she was a princess of sorts although i cannot confirm this. They married in Yorkshire and had a child george in 1868, I also think that they had a son Charles out of wedlock earlier. Any help would be super. Thank you. Sarah
