Titus was born on 13th May and census was taken 7th April so he'd have only been a 5 or so weeks off his 18th birthday in 1861

That may be because I cheated and copied ancestry's transcription for ages. Let me check the original

EDIT TO SAY: There's a big line through it but looks like it is 8 as the bottom of it loops properly

I'm actually quite surprised by how uncommon Shaw is turning out to be.

In 1861 census there are only 19 John and Ellen Shaw pairings and in 1871 there are 32.
John Shaws from Berkshire are very few too - although I still can't pinpoint him in 1851

Have we got a date for John Shaw's death anywhere?

I can't find him either, but I think these are his parents:

I think in 1841 he and his sister have had their ages rounded.

Durrr - I forgot I had his father's name from the marriage certificate

There's a baptism on IGI 29 FEB 1832 Saint Giles, Reading, Berkshire, England

to William and Sarah Shaw
