I have come across your Shropshires while looking for my own.
They are at rest in the Kettleby Cemetery in Kettleby, Ontario, Canada.If you wish, I could go out there and transcribe their headstone for you - It would be no trouble.

Charles' father is also Charles Shropshire
Elizabeth's father is George Holdenby
