Hi Martin
I don't have any pictures and haven't looked into this part of my family for a while. My Shaw ancestors lived at Swans Lake farm in the 1700s - Samuel and Sampson seem to be common family names. I do remember finding a list of burial plots in the Bosley register from 1566 which includes; 'Samuel Shaw for Swans Lacke' so the family may have been there many generations earlier than I have been able to find in the registers.
I also have some old tithe maps of the farm and surrounding fields.
Would be great to share any information of common interest - I'd love to visit one day. I grew up in South Manchester so not far away but now live in Vancouver.
Thanks for getting in touch
Mike
