John SHAW born South America c1893 (General)
Out of curiosity I searched for John Shaw's earlier years in "South America" via LDS / Family Search website.
The site gives many Shaws, some born England, within the 1895 Argentina Census.
Could this be John ?, apparently born in the City(Ciudad) and Capital of Buenos Aires, the major port on the Atlantic coast famous for beef export.
"Argentina, National Census, 1895"
Name: Juan Shaw

To my pleasant surprise the original census image can be viewed f-o-c.

Listed next to Juan, so presumably his family?, are
Adelaida R. Shaw, birth: 1871 England
Tomas Shaw, birth: 1894 Buenos Aires, Argentina
In total sixty-six Shaws are listed in the Argentina Census of 1895; hopefully this link will show them all but note those at "Partido Azul, Buenos Aires, Argentina" are in fact in the city of Azul about 180 miles southwest of B.A. City itself, albeit still within B.A. Province - Argentina is an immense country, the capital BA being towards the northern end and on the border with Uruguay.)

There are five more Johns listed, as follows:
Could this be his father John Senior as per the marriage record) ?
Juan Shaw birth: 1845 England
Departamento Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina
(so also abt 180 miles from BA, to the north west.
From Wiki, "By 1880, Rosario had become the first export outlet of Argentina. By 1887 it had about 50,000 inhabitants, of which 40% were immigrants who brought new ideas from Europe...")

I would be very interested to know if I'm on the right track, I'm sure there were Shaws in other South American countries too.
