John Shea/O'Shea

[ELMurphy]

Hi there, I'm looking for the birth details of John O'Shea born around 1970 in the Marylebone area. He married Louisa Annie Emsden Arthurs in 1892 and his father is listed as Denis O'Shea (deceased).
One of the witnesses was a Daniel O'Shea. There are a few John Sheas being born in that general area in 1860-1872. Do I have to order birth certs from the GRO until I get the right one or is there any way I can narrow them down?

Is this the family in 1881

Thanks rosie99. Still quite new to this. So RG10/210 f81 p74 is the location of his birth record ?
I did take that family to be the family I am looking for.

Hi

The RG10 reference is for the family in 1871 - free to view on familysearch

His age in 1881 is 10, in 1871 he is 2.  Have you found birth registrations for any of the children with more unusual names.

Found a marriage for sister Johanna alright. The other names a quite common Irish names. Hoping to follow parents of John back to Ireland and want to see if any helpful info was on his birth record. If I can't find his I will try find his siblings birth records but he a direct male ancestor on the tree I'm looking at.

Probably the best thing to do is look on freebmd at the Shea births in the Marylebone registration district. Most of the children seem to have their births registered there.

Thanks rosie99, I'll do that
