Hi Mcadamsd,
The signatures look to me like D Barnard and Jonah Lea.
There is a will for Michael Shaw, plumber of Kingsland Road Middlesex, probate 1836. In this he leaves everything to his daughter Rebecca Shaw and names her as his executrix. No wife or other children are named and Rebecca is named as Shaw and not Barnard?
This matches with the death you have of Michael Shaw in 1835 although as you have his wife dying after him I would assume she would be provided for along with the number of siblings.
Do you have anything that confirms that your Rebecca is the daughter of this Michael?

Further digging at my end has quickly revealed my tree had a Michael Shaw born 1796 and passing in 1835, same year as the father but different months. Father November and son December. However, that data came from other tree. Some have the son's death as March 1835
I had a parish baptism record for Rebecca 18 Oct 1802 St Leonard, Shoreditch, Middlesex, England but I cannot find the downloaded document but image shows parents Catherine and Michael.
I have been unable to find a marriage for the younger Michael Shaw that might explain the will and the daughter Rebecca. I found a hint for a death record that lists a death in 1835 for a Michael Shaw in 1835 with mother Catherine but have been unable to view that document.
Going back to the parents Michael Shaw and Catherine Stevenson, I have found some detail
Catherine was daughter of James Stevenson and Elizabeth Stevenson (Battle) and was baptized 1 Aug 1773 St Mary, Whitechapel, Middlesex, England. She married 22 Dec 1793 Christ Church with St Mary and St Stephen, Spitalfields. She seems to have passed 05 Mar 1848, possibly in a workhouse Princes Street, St George in the East
Michael Shaw was baptized 14 Aug 1774 St Leonard, Shoreditch Hackney, Middlesex and parents were Ephraim Shaw and Sarah Shaw ( We believe maiden name Man or Mann) We have not found a child named Sarah which seems odd. The death record shows birth 1773 which seems close.
One additional confusing fact we have found in several sources is a daughter Charlotte born 1805
Birth 07 MAY 1805 • Huntington Street, Shoreditch, Middlesex and Death 22 AUG 1805 • Huntington Street, Shoreditch, Middlesex. The records are there to support this but additionally others show a Charlotte Shaw married to a Mark Hayes 11 May 1828 • St John's, Hackney, Middlesex, England.
All this seems to point to my confusing two families living in the same area with similar given names.
More confused than ever but at least know there are possible major issues with this branch
