Shaw - Stillington - York - Doncaster
« on: Tuesday 14 December 04 23:18 UTC (UK) »

Hi,
Please can anyone help me!!
I am new to this and have come to a dead end.
I am trying to trace my great great grandmother, I know her married names were Shaw and Spruce.
Frances Elizabeth was born in Stillington in 1840, and living in Stillington in1881a schoolmistress with her 3 children - William (13) Alice (4, my great grandmar) and Harriet (2). Frances was widowed and her Married name was Shaw. William and Alice were born in York and Harriet was born in Doncaster.
In the 1901Frances was married to John Spruce, my dad can remember an uncle Tom Spruce in the 1940s and thinks he may be Gran's half brother.
The problem I have is I do not have Frances's maiden name or her husbands first name and haven't got a clue where to go from here.
All information or ideas of where to go will be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks
Lorraine Shaw

Looked through the National Burial Index but no Shaw in Stillington. Ask for a look up and the 1861 and 71 censuses if you haven't already
