A lot of people on here have tried to help me search for this person but with no luck - firstly thanks to those for spending their time on my tree!! Im looking for a Albert Edward Shaw but not sure when he was born. I know he married an Addline Gertrude Plant (may be known as Gertrude b.1871 in Stoke) in 1898 in Stoke on Trent. I have ordered the marriage cert to get his dob but I cant find any record of either of them on 1901 census? They had children in 1912 also in Stoke so Im guessing they stayed in the country. Any ideas anyone? Colette
