Title: Mrs M.I. Shaw, 3 Kinross Road, Liverpool
Post by: bigt on Wednesday 18 March 15 18:01 GMT (UK)
I am looking for guidance to trace any information on the above person.  Unfortunately, all I have is the address.

She was the wife of Thomas William Shaw, born 1875 in Liverpool. I believe Thomas is my 1st cousin 2x removed.  He was a master mariner in the merchant navy.  I have got a Merchant Navy medal card for Thomas which states he received the Mercantile Marine Ribbon, issued 1919 as well as the British Medal Ribbon.  In 1926 the Mercantile Marine Meal and British Medal were issued.  At the top of the card the word 'Deceased' has been written and at the side 'Next of Kin Widow  Mrs M I Shaw, 3 Kinross Road, Crosby Road, Liverpool.

At present I have been unable to trace Thomas's death or marriage.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Tom

FreeBMD gives index details for a marriage of Thomas W SHAW to Margaret I BROUGH, Dec qtr 1914, Toxteth Park 8b 259.  Have you looked at that one?

No, thanks for that, he did stay in the Toxteth Park area prior to 1911.  Will give that a look.

7 bedrooms -so they are large houses and in 1914 would be classed as people with money here in Liverpool
