  • Douglas gordon shaw

    Can i get help with douglas gordon shaw please?

    B.1 aug 1888, cairo, egypt. Parents: william leonard langdon shaw (1858 langdon hills, essex- 1926 aston, herts), and mary meickle starrock (b.1860ish edinburgh). William was in the ordnance corps of the army. They married 1879 falkirk, scots.

    1881 william and mary are in stirling.

    1891 would have been in ireland, according to william's army record.

    1901 and 1911 douglas is in dublin living with his mother and sister lizzie veronica (b.1880 stirling, scots. Was in school in london 1893-5). I have no idea what happened to mary or lizzie after 1911.

    William had left the family about 1905, as he appears in london with new "wife" frances in 1911. They stated married 6 years. Can't see a marriage, and mary was obviously still alive.

    Douglas is the informant on william's death on 15 sep 1926 at aston in herts. Address given as 30 portland st, southampton.

    Douglas died 20 jan 1945 at royal south hants hospital, southampton. Informant is wife barbara, their address is 14 luxembourg gardens, london. He was a supply officer.

    I can't find a marriage to barbara. And i suppose he was serving in 1939, so that would be why i can't spot him? I don't know if he had children. Any help for him, his sister or mother is much appreciated.

      Do you have any documents to show he might have followed in the medical profession as he was a medical student at Trinity College Dublin? Have you checked out RAMC?

        Just seen these:

        The Gazette 1913:
        ORDER of the Local Government Board: Brighton Improvement Act, 1884: Order under Section 34. BOROUGH OF BRIGHTON. To the Mayor; Aldermen and B...

        The Gazette 1915:
        https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/...upplement/4877 Looks like he remained in the Service Corps.

          Going round the houses a bit here. Can see a Sarah B Shaw at 14 luxembourg Gdns, Hammersmith on 1845 electoral roll with 3 females.

          There is a marriage 1941 for Sarah B N Evans to Douglas G Shaw. 2nd q Surrey East.

          This could be Sarah Barbara Natalie Evans b Bedwelty 1903 Monmouthshire.

          She died in 1963 Kensington. Probate to brother Henry Alec Cadwalder Evans.

          Sorry can't link

                      I think the third christian name in 1904 is aenid, =enid?

                      I think veronica may have died in 1962 at dublin, in a hospital. Hard to be 100% with irish deaths, there were no relatives listed.

                      And i think the death of mary is correct, matches address witht he murphy household in 1911.

                      Going to have to order douglas' marriage. Doesn't appear to be any children of the match.

                        Seems strange to mix the names ie Alice Aenid. Another one to try to remember.

                        That does look good for Veronica's death. It does help when informants are relatives. Did notice, however, that Veronica was care of a ?J M C Murphy. Wondered if she had another child but cannot see a likely one.

                        Douglas' mc should confirm things. Fingers crossed.
