There are no Shaw/Harrison marriages in the pre 1855 OPRs.
Also none that fit in the statutory records from 1855. Perhaps they married in the US?
Perhaps we should go back a step - why are you thinking that Isabella Harrison's mum was a Shaw?
I know there is a good IGI for a Jane Shaw b c 1823 (as per census) that matches who you suggest.
I wonder if we should try to trace the one on IGI to see when she disappears from Scotland.Last edited by herky; 08-11-11, 09:57.herky

John Shaw( father of Jane Brown Shaw) was believed born 1781@ Kelton a son of David Shaw & Jean Brown... have tried to find marriages in Scotland& USA with no luck and not knowing the Harrison christian name could not find birth(Scotland)or death(USA) as well as birth details of Isabella S (Shaw?) Harrison...hope this makes sense!!!
