Janet's marriage was before 1490 places her birth prior to 1478. Her daughter Christian's marriage, however, was before 27 Sep 1490. This in turn places her daughter Christian's birth prior to 27 Sep 1478. this would Janet's marriage prior to 1478 and, thus, Janet's birth prior to 1466.
Although some sources list her father as Sir, James Shaw of Sauchy. The mother is not mentioned , making it unclear whether she is the sister or daughter of the James Shaw who married Christian Bruce.
"The Family of Edmonstone" maintains it was the elder was the father[1] . Other sources place her as the child of the younger James. Many of the vital dates are gross estimates but, so far, the ones we can verify seem to favor Janet is the daughter of the younger James.
For a general treatment of "Shaw of Sauchie" see the work of Marshall.[7]

The highland Shaw's were a completely different family as far as I can discover. Possibly connected in the 1500's. I hope I can find a link. However I have trouble finding one. If you can it would be great. The Janet you are talking about married and lived locally. Her daughter married back into the family the next generation back. This james shaw is famous as his daughter was mistress to James the IV.
