The only thing I might suggest is (if you can) get to the historical electoral rolls and look up all known addresses.
They could have been living with family members when you were born, for example, which would help sorting out one Shaw family from another.

That, and getting an age from the marriage cert..

Hello Ken
If you get their marriage cert. from Pauline's info. it will tell you his age & his father's name.You will need year;quarter;place & index no. which is on the link.
You can order it from here:
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
We can then look for his birth.
