I guess that's a possibility yes.
Can't find a birth record for Charles' sister Jane (b approx. 1820, died 3/11/1871 aged 51) either.

Hi Hilary, we have Charles' father James Shaw birth registered at Holy Family Church Ince Blundell 31/7/1791. From census and death records, their lives seemed centred around Ince Blundell. Although James married Ann Coates (nee Bibby) at St Peter, Church St Liverpool on 21/2/1814. We have checked r...

Thanks Mary, we will probably come over again, not sure when, but yes it would be nice to have a look in church.

Thank you for your good wishes MaryA and Fledge. We had an enjoyable day, starting with a walk round the graveyard at St Helens Church, Sefton. We didn't go very far before we found the memorial stone for Charles Shaw buried in 1819 and James (son of Charles) buried in 1849. Then on to Crosby librar...

Well folks, we're off to Crosby library and St Helen's Sefton on Wednesday. Hoping to get a bit further with your helpful suggestions, thank you. X

He died on 6/4/1875 and his gravestone was erected by Thomas Weld Blundell. From the inscription, it ...

Hi, thank you for reply. From his death date 6/4/1875 and his age at death 57, it would seem he was born 1818 ish. I have a marriage record for his parents of 21/2/1814 at Liverpool St Peters, Church Street. According to his gravestone, he had a sister, and no I haven't been able to find her birth r...

Hello, and thank you for allowing me to join this forum. I wonder if anyone could help with suggestions on what type of records one could research when you have been unable to find a birth record anywhere? Please note I am not asking for anyone to do the research just help on where I could look next...
