The Shaw/Bonson boy on FreeBMD is plain Joseph, with two elder sisters.

You can easily check for yourself, to see if the girls' names ring a bell.

Not sure about the children it's possible, I know there were Sam Joseph and 2 girls together, as shaw but don't know of anymore

Do you know the forenames of any of Hilda's children, to compare with the three Shaw/Bonson births on FreeBMD, or is the Samuel Shaw that Rose found, Hilda's child to your knowledge?

Thankyou ku into, so helpful Bonson is the one maiden name, I found nothing has I was looking for bonsall
I appreciate your help everyone

Bonson is quite close to Bonsall?

Did 'your' Hilda have the three children, two boys and a girl,born 1925-1933, that I mentioned previously could be found on Freebmd?

Thankyou, rambling rose, unsure of anything about her, fisher could have been her maiden name, we were however led to believe she was a bonsall and her husband(fisher) went to ww1 and died in action,

There are three SHAW children with mother maiden name given as BONSON born in Chesterfield between 1925 and 1933, two girls and a boy.

I won't post them here as they may still be living, but you can find them on freebmd.
