EDIT - original image looks more like Shae than either Shoe or Shaw for Francis' middle name. Strangely Joseph's surname is very definitely Shaw on the original.

Gee Report 5 Oct 2010 14:56

OK..initial shock of having a load of scubbers in the family is over!!

Now, this birth cert for Rose Cunningham looks defo to be 'Shae' for the mother - Mary Cunningham's maiden name

So now I'm perplexed as to who Mary was...Shae or Shaw?


Any ideas please...grovel grovel

There is a Danville Street

Danville Street Brightside Bierlow Sheffield
Danville Street Court Brightside Bierlow Sheffield

But I dont see any of their family at any of the No 10s on 1881.
Was looking to see if parents of John Cunningham Or Shae/Shay/Shae were there for you.
