Walter Shaw baptism look-up, please
« on: Friday 05 February 16 14:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'm trying to find a baptism for Walter Shaw. He appears in the 1891 census in the household of Richard Shaw in Normanton Spring, Yorks. He is listed as Grandson and age given as 5 (so born c.1886) Birthplace is Handsworth (Sheffield).
I would like to know who his parents are, but have so far failed to find a birth reg. that fits.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a Walter Shaw birth reg Mar 1885 Sheffield and Sep 1885 and 2 in Mar 1886.

The last three would all fit with him being 5 in 1891. 

Have you found grandpa in 1881 to see what children he has?

Could you give the reference number to the 1891 census as I'm having trouble finding them  ???

Sheffield Indexer has these two 1886 christenings for a Walter Shaw

 of Wheeldon Street, born 1886-04-21
 Baptised June 8, 1886 St George, Brook Hill.
 Parents Louisa & Benjamin (Forger)

of Martin Street, born 1886-08-13
 Baptised August 31, 1886 St George, Brook Hill.
 Annis & Albert (Table Knife Hafter).

I can see a Percy Shaw b 1886 Handsworth living with grandfather Richard and family in Normanton Springs in 1891 with a step son of Richard's listed as Walter J Neville b 1869 but not a Walter Shaw of the right age??    Probably me!

Hi Vaison -

Are you looking for a WALTER Shaw born c 1886 ?

or

Do you mean PERCY Shaw from 1891 census (details posted by Kay99)

Like Kay99 and Milliepede I was struggling to find a Walter Shaw age 5 grandson of Richard
on 1891 census - that's why I asked for the reference number

Here's the 1881 census with Richard Shaw & family

To everyone - I am so, so sorry to have misled you. I meant PERCY Shaw, not Walter.
Richard's children were Thos.P., Ann, Harry, Clara, Clement, Ernest, Edmund, Harriet, Fred., John, Wm., Richard.
But, so far I haven't found a child called Percy for any of them.

Apologies once again.

Possibly an illegitimate son of Harriet? 

Birth Sheffield Mar 1886

Have you checked his parentage out?
