William and Nancy Jane’s third child, Lot, married a woman named Jemima
Ida May Lougheed (b. ca 1881) in 1900, and had two children: a daughter
named Evangeline, and a son named Audrey.
Fourth child, Margaret, married John Emms in 1904.
Alice married Henry Jinks in 1896, and brother Frank married Lilly
Lack in 1909.
Youngest child, Jane, married James Ritchie in 1909, also.
Both Frank and Jane married their spouses just two months after their
father's death, in Sept. 1909 (see article).
All of the above took place in Ontario.
This Robertshaw clan was the last of the family to leave Ontario for
Port Huron around 1906/07. It was in Port Huron where William died on 1
Sept 1909. There is an article in the Port Huron Daily Times Herald newspaper
dated 2 Sept 1909 about his death, only William is listed as William Shaw
- not Robertshaw. In the next day’s paper is his obituary where he is listed
as William Robert Shaw - Robert as his middle name. I have checked the
death records for this time period and there was no William Shaw that died
at that time - only Wliiam Robertshaw. This happens frequently with the
Robertshaw documents and I find it humorous when a female is listed as
“Mary Robert Shaw.

Tombstone
It seems that this branch of the Robertshaw clan moved back to Ontario
soon after William's unfortunate demise.
This is all I have on this particular branch.
