Anc tree says James Shaw 11 March 1915 passed away 14 September 1991 Ajax Durham Ontario.
Wife Jessie Margaret Littlejohn - 1 st January 1914 passed away 27 July 1987.
Couple would appear to have had 6 daughters and a son.

Obit for James' wife only says "beloved wife of Jim" and doesn't name any children.  I cannot find an obit for James.

His wife was cremated. No reference in the obit as to where or if the ashes were buried.
