Hi Shaun,
Nice to meet you,its funny but i have just come from another post on this site,someone with the same interest in the Shubarts, her name is Mary also from Australia any connection? any way I've copy and past the info from there to here hope it helps.
I do have B. M. D certificates and some Army records if that helps.
David H J is on the 1881 and 1891 census, the reason you haven't found him is....on the 1881 census he is living with his grandparents David and Jeannette Shubart and g-grandmother Mary Copeland and he is down as Monaghan not Shubart,his mother was Mary Sophia Shubart, born1850 in India,she married a James Monaghan in Devon 1866.
On the1891 census he is still living with grandparents but has changed from Monaghan to Shubart and his sister Rose ( Rosa) is also living there.At this time he has joined the Army aged 19. He made a career in the Army till he died in 1941 aged 68 Exminster Devon. He spent most of his life in India and he was born there March 8th 1872.
He married Elizabeth Annie Lee in 1892 in Devon, they had 6 children:Winfred Mary B/1894 Devon (my Grandmother) Eric Lee B/1895 India, Beatrix Victoria B/ 1897 India, David Stanley B/1898, Thomas Edgar B/1900 India, Shirin Jeanette B/ 1905 India.
This is just some of the info that i have let me know what you need and i will be happy to help,
Kind Regards Belle
