Has the name been Anglicised as Shy doesn't sound very German? My German ancestors did that with their names, changing Georg to George and Anna Maria to Annie Mary.

I also think that they had a son Charles out of wedlock earlier

According to 1881 census, Charles was born in Germany in 1865 (out of wedlock as you said).  So the family must have arrived in England between 1865 and 1867 when they married.

Georg was most probably Scheu in Germany. You could look if there are naturalization papers available.

The Mormons have films of the Church books. You can order them at their History Centers. They also have family books.

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
