Elizabeth Martin Shaw

Elizabeth Martin Shaw, my great-great grandmother, was born around 1882 in Montreal but I can't find a record of her baptism anywhere!

Her parents (James Shaw and Annie Martin) were very involved with their churches, first Erskine Presbyterian and then Taylor Presbyterian.  I've found her older siblings baptisms at Erskine (1874 & 1879) and her younger siblings baptisms at Taylor (1884, 1897 and 1899) along wither her mother's death in 1888 and her father's remarriage in 1896.  I went though the registers at both churches page by page for the gap between 1879 and 1884 and STILL could not find her.

How curious!  Not to mention frustrating!
