Thomas & Mary Shaw, census look up sunderland 1891
« on: Sunday 23 November 08 16:57 GMT (UK) »
Further to a previous inquiry, could somebody please check census for Sunderland  in 1891. Looking for Thomas (E. A. A.) Shaw and wife Mary with possible children. Thomas was a draper and address in 1884 was Waterloo Place, Sunderland. Both Thomas and Mary were born in Argyllshire, Scotland. In 1891 Thomas would have been about 41 years old and Mary 39.

Thanks, Doddie

Hi, I know I'm joining the party a few years late.... Just to let you know, if you're interested, I work in the building where you Shaws worked. Not sure if you wanted a photo of the building? I walk down Blandford street to get to work so could have a look at where they lived. Just a thought.
