Hello Dawn
This looks like your boy in 1871:
RG10/5312 Folio 61
Avon Road, Blaenavon
SHAW, Thomas, HD, M, 18, Pudler, STS Bilston
Ann, Wife, 23, MON Llanover Upper
Mariah, DA, 8, STS Wolverhampton (becomes Miriam in 1881)
Ann, DA, 5, MON Llanover upper
Marria?, 4, MON Trevethin [no relationship listed]
Next house:
GREEN, David, Hd, M, 27, Lab in iron works, HEF, Henlland
Ann, Wife, 40, STS Bradley
SHAW, Enoch, SSO, 20, Pudler, STS Wedmoreland?
SHAW, Edwin, SSO, 10, "
SHAW, Thomas, SSO, 6, "
GREEN, Joseph, Brother, 19, Lab in iron works, HEF ==
HORTON, John, Boarder, 23, Pudler, HEF==?
So it looks as if the SHAW family were in Staffordshire in 1861. Couldn't find Enoch in
1881 so possibly dead or emigrated?
