There will be family trees added here, just as soon as I can find out how to produce one like this one

Looking at that tree, my path commences also with Jonathan Shaw b1730, John 1756, Jonathan 1788 and then descends from Charles 1814.

The four trees will be:

the SHAW family of Linthwaite & Huddersfield area (Yorkshire),

the STOTT family of Hartshead & Mirfield (Yorkshire),

the PRINCE family of Neston (Cheshire)

the TUCKER Family of Harlow (Essex)

plus my wife's trees of Lattimore, Reed, Trayford & Sampson, and my Aunt's tree of Pettit.

If you want some of the family history I've discovered so far, here are two things to look at, both connected to the Second World War.

Firstly, an interview with my father about his War, carried out by a family friend when he lived in Tenerife in the early 1990's. He was living in Huntly Grove, Peterborough and working in the Co-op Bakery on Midland Road when called up, ending up in the Army Commandos. Click on Bob and Rocky Shaw / WW2 story transcript in the Index to read the interview.

Secondly, a page about my mother's cousin, "Nab" Prince, so named because my auntie couldn't pronounce his name Albert, as a young girl. Four brothers and a sister of my mother's grandad's children emigrated to Canada in 1905 - 1911 and Nab was born there, before his Dad Harold came back after WW1. After working for the local authority in Cheshire, Nab joined the RAF and was sent across the North Sea to bomb a German battleship on the first full day of the war. click here to read about Nab Prince
