Found another daughter for Charles and Elizabeth and another surname McQuire.
At one stage the Lange name was listed as Lang.

Married Thomas Leonard SHAW 1886 #1181 (He was born McCallums)

Son John Leonard SHAW was b 1886 #19747 Majorca

Josephine died, Age 25, at Majorca 1890

At one stage Josephine was Josephina

Carl & Eleanor were married 1888 #1127. (Charles born Majorca)
(Eleanor born Craigie)

Found an Eleanor FINCH b. 1866 #3087 born McCullinis
Parents were William FINCH & Susanna BEST
#Interesting to compare birthplaces for SHAW & FINCH
Where is Craigie?

I do not know where Charles or Elizabeth came from, I am not sure who other
children were or when they died. Any information or leads appreciated.
