I have the following lady in my tree, and would very much like to trace any descendants or other members of her family. Lydia Shaw, born born c1851 in Birmingham (then Warwickshire), to William a jewellery case manufacturer and his wife Hannah. She had numerous siblings, including Hannah, Clara, Ruth, Edwin and Lavinia. In 1885 Lydia married Edward Ricquier of Winchester, Hampshire (by then living in Alton). Edward died soon after, but not before fathering Marguerite Mary, who was born in 1887 in Southsea, Hampshire. After she was widowed, Lydia and her daughter returned to Balsall Heath and opened a Ladies Outfitters in Edwardes Street. They were still there on the 1901 Census. As my mother's maiden name was also Shaw, I have a double interest! Lydia's husband was my g.grandfather's cousin. I am now living in Warwickshire, but am no closer to finding them! |
