Roy, I'm contacting you regarding photos you mention in message 7222 of the SHAW forum.
The Shaws of Castlewellan in those photos are related to me. Sarah (nee Ferguson), married to Robert Shaw, was my grandmother's sister.
My second cousin Sally Shaw(who married a Shaw)'s father was Robert (known as Harry). His sisters were Marguerite (known as Daisy) and Gertie (Gertrude). I knew them as my uncle and aunts (not stricly true, as they were cousins of my mother). Sally still lives in Castlewellan. I live in London, Ontario, Canada.
I have tried to email you without success, and even tried the only Rudolph Elser I could find in the US - the 760 area code number was "no longer in service".
Would it be possible to get copies of your photos -jpg images would be ok.
What is really important to me is finding Sarah (Ferguson) Shaw's mother's name etc. Sarah was born about 1859, possibly in Co.Armagh, although her first two childrens' New Zealand birth certificate show her place of birth as Co.Down.
Sorry for contacting you on the wrong forum, but your Army message was the most recent.
