Refer to: Burke, Sir Bernard. A genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry of Great Britain & Ireland. 1879, p. 190.
It's kind of tedious to follow, but at least the start of the transfer of the surname from Brisbane to Shaw, and Mary (instead of Maria) are fairly easy to pick out (Burke apparently didn't know George's father's forename). Also, I think Burke refers to Thomas Brisbane's wife as Isabel Nicholson - daughter of Sir Thomas Nicholson of Ladykirk.
