robert and richard shaw of wexford, Ireland

I would be grateful for any help tracing my ancestors from Wexford, Ireland.

Robert Shaw was born in Wexford in 1854, qualified as a doctor in Belfast and emigrated to england in about 1875.  I can trace him from when he arrives in England but have little information re Ireland.  I think he may have had a brother called Richard and sisters Alicia and Emily who may have run a school in Wexford.  Their parents were possibly Richard and Alicia Shaw, and they may have owned a hardware or furniture store in Wexford town (not the modern Shaws in that town)

Any hints or suggestions would be very welcome.

from Slaters Commercial Directory of 1870 - Wexford Town traders section :

Richard Shaw, North Main st  - Cabinetmakers

William Shaw, Main st - Boot & Shoe Makers/Leather Sellers

there's no sign of Richard in the previous edition - 1846

 Shaw's in Wexford town was previously Hadden's but before that I am almost certain that it was Shaws . I think there is or was a connection between both families.
