I notice that there was an Emily Shaw in your photos. My grandfather was John Shaw b,1891. I do not know where. His father was also John Shaw we think killed in a horse and carriage accident, I dont know who his mother was, there was also a brother Victor. I wondered if there is any connection to Emily and her family.

I know I am probablly clutching at straws but he was a real mystery. I know that in 1905 he was put into the navy on a training ship and his guardian was Laura Annie Robinson. I have a photo of him in navy uniform taken by F.N. Jones of Coleford...around 1906. He must of had some sort of connection with that area.
