Shaw family in England

[punch]

I am looking for any information regarding Frank Shaw born in England about 1903-1904. Unfotunately I do not know where in England. Frank died in Ontario, Canada on February 15, 1988 in his 84th year and in his obituary he mentions his siblings Violet, Arthur, Edgar, Harry, Amy and Edith. I am estimating that all of his siblings were born in the late 1890s through 1915.  Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Jno E Shaw age 9mths was John Edgar Shaw -and later goes by the name of Edgar.

Thank you so much for your offer to research further. This family certainly appears to be the one I am looking for. All the names of the siblings fit. You are FANTASTIC!! It would appear that Edgar's wife was previously married as there is a stepdaughter mentioned in the 1901 census. Do you have access to the 1911 uk census to check for date of birth of the other children?

[suzard]

we are not allowed to do look ups for 1911 census -copyright issues etc - but you can search the index free.

Possibly frances was married or had Amy illegitimately - however frank regarded Amy as a sister as she was mentioned in his obit.

I think this is Frank's father in 1881
