sunnp on 2012-11-13 00:15:44Many thanks Tonkin. Some early family documents give a London address for Andrew W. W. Shove which suggest that he may have gone back to England. I have searched census records and BDMs etc. but with no success. The name, like many others is often misspelt - Shore, Shaw, Shrove etc. I have a lot of info on other siblings. His sister, Annie, born 1840 was my GGrandmother.
Cheers

What year does your family documents place Andrew in London?
If Andrew's father or mother made a Will it may give you a few more details about Andrew's whereabouts.
sunnp on 2012-11-14 00:32:27I have gone back to a cousin who is the original source from her mother's documents to try and get a date for this and to check some other dates - will advise.
His parents died in the 1870s and from diaries he was certainly in the area at this time.
Cheers
Greetings sunnp.
I searched all the Australian death records but could not find your Andrew SHOVE, but I did find some of his siblings.
Are you sure Andrew stayed in Australia?
