John Schaw King's Messenger
Hi
I have recently discovered my 5x Great Grandfather was John Schaw, a King's Messnger.
Based on the burial record for him in 1829, he was born in around 1764, and according to his daughter Eliza's baptismal record (1790), his wife was also Eliza.
Does anyone know of this individual, and more importantly who his parents were? I am kind of assuming he was originally from Scotland, although he does seem to have spent his adult life in London (Pimlico area).
Regards
Dave Morris
