Travelling People / Re: Silvester Shaw/Thorp/Loveridge?
« on: Saturday 30 September 23 21:43 BST (UK) »
Hi all.
I am descended from the Shaw family - My Grandads mum was a Shaw.
Many of my facts have been both researched and taken from a very old and battered family bible that was handed down to my grandad, so some of my information has come from his transcripts done before the bible became unreadable.
Silvester Shaw is my 2nd cousin 4 x removed, daughter of James Shaw and Dinah Gray.
Here is a brief tree of that part of the family...
James Shaw (my 1st cousin 5 x R) is son of Moses Shaw (b1741) and Susannah Dimmock (1744)
his siblings are:
John (1765-1834)
Moses (1767-1839)
Elizabeth (b1769)
Mary (b1771)
Aaron (b1773)
Esther (b1779)
Jasper (1781-1841)
Dinah Gray - (wife of my 1st cousin 5 x R, also MIL of two of my 3rd cousins 3 x R) is daughter of Fourness "Fowk" Gray (1755-1828) and Mary Thorpe (1758-1830)
Her siblings are:
Eleanor (b1775)
William (1775-1844)
Angelis (b1777)
Rittah (1778-1844)
Ambrose (1780-1852)
Constance (b1785)
Silvester "Silva" Charlotte (1793-1839)
Holland (1796-1828)
Thomas (b1798)
James (b1803)
James Shaw & Dinah Gray had 5 daughters:
Aquilla (1815-1900) m.James Andrews
Cresena (b1818)
Silvester (b1819) m.Stephen Loveridge
Counsellety (abt1823) m.Jasper Shaw (her 2nd cousin - Son of William Shaw and Esther Welch)
Susannah (b1826) m.Jonas Shaw (her 2nd cousin - Son of William Shaw and Esther Welch)
As you can see, already we have a complicated family tree!
There are multiple inter family marriages, multiple children to couples (my grandad was one of 22 children) but from what I know and can ascertain from the facts I have found over many years, our family was a very tight knit community. Families lived and travelled together, as well as married into these families on many occasions.
There are hundreds more people to talk about but I'll be here for eternity! Many stories and some scandals too. If anyone is interested I'd be only to happy to make a connection and share.
