I've purchsed the Salindine Nook 1783 -1822 dedications booklet and Ithink I have worked it out. There are indeed 2 James and Betty Shaw families. |

Sorry I was misled by the spelling. I got Paul Shaw from Michael in a seperate e-mail (see below)- he has been following the threads. Also confimed by Steve Whitman's Colne Valley marriage and burial database |

Hi again Janet - I have just e-mailed Steve Whitwam about my little problem. He did not reply when I tried previously - he probably has big demands on his time but let's wait and see. |

Yes, you are right Janet and Michael has just contacted me re other Elizabeth or Betty Leaches married to Shaws. Gosh it is complicated I don't know which way to turn |

just another snippet.....looking at family search at the name of Leach/Leech it does suggest that the family could have come from the Lancashire side of the Pennines which again tallies geographywise. Many of them coming from Rochdale /Milnrow/Saddleworth. To this day there is a Leeches Hill adjoining junction 23 of the M62. Less than half a mile from your presumed family. Not proven but just a point.-JLe |

Harold, I've been following Janet's posts and as she is in, and familiar with, the area her advice is the best. |

So Ozi and Janet, what is your gut feel? |

Hi Janet, more questions. Were the Shaws in this area usually Baptist? I've just seen my father's army book and he was a baptist (but died CofE). Must have got this from his mother Mary Louisa Shaw, the great grand daughter of James and Betty Shaw in question - don't know if that tells me anything or not |

Janet has a point and I wondered about Tomey & James myself, however these are baptisms and not births. We don't know exactly how long after the births these took place. |

Gosh this really is difficult. Are you saying that the list of 9 siblings identified by Ozi may have different James and Betty Shaws as parents and we don't know which is which. |

You have a point Janet but where does that leave me. |

Just looking at the children born to James Shaw and Betty. The birth of Tomey 14th May 1820 and James Shaw 19th Dec 1820 are not likely so it could be that this is a list of two families with the same parents's name. -JLe |
