Hi, I'm afraid the dates don't match up. My Neil Shaw was born around 1800, Duirinish. his parents were Donald Shaw & Anne mcCuish. Neil's first wife was Mary Shaw, still can't find any information about her. She died before 1841 so Neil remarried Catherine Maclean in Portree. That's where he died about 1880. he was a Mason and living at Sluggans.
Good luck in your search for your family.

 Hi. Thanks for your reply.  John Simpson & Agnes Orr's daughter Jean was my line. She married a James McKenzie in 1833, Larbert and  she died in 1882. Her and James are buried in Larbert. Their son Thomas came out to NZ and settled here.
Still looking for Jean's mother, Agnes Orr. Don't know a thing about her except she died between 1851-57.
Yes there was a Mary, born about 1824, She married a John Wilson.
Mary died in 1900 Avonbridge.
I have an Agnes, dau of John & Agnes born about 1823. She married a John McRuer, is this your line ?
John Wilson mentioned above was at McRuer's house in the 1881 census.

Hi,  is there anyone out there researching this Shaw family, Neil Shaw and Catherine Maclean.  Catherine was his 2nd wife and they married in Portree 1843. He died in 1880 at Sluggans. Catherine died 2 yrs before Neil. They had about 5 children.
Neil was living in Edinbain 1841 census but wife Mary absent. Her maiden name Shaw as well.
Presume she died after their son Norman was born about 1839-40.
Have come to a dead end on this family so would love to hear from somebody.
