[mrbee]

Do any of these names appear in your research, John Shaw was my Gt,Gt,Gt Grandparent and George Shaw was my Gt Gt Grandparent and I would like to find out more details of their parents and/or the brothers/sisters of the family, I believe the family may have connections in Rotherham, Wathe on Dearne and Swinton. I have information to share.

I'm new to this so bear with me.

I have a Joshua Shaw b 1821/22 in Stoke on Trent - he was married to Martha Eley b 1822/23 in Swinton yorks
They were mrrd in 1840 in Shelton
The mrrge certificate confirms Joshua's father as John Shaw

I have come across an entry on the Familysearch site which suggests Joshua's father is John Shaw b Swinton around 1799 his wife is Hannah Bennett born Hanley Stoke on Trent

I have no information about any siblings for Joshua though

Hi Emma
Do you have any other information about your George, You say he was a Pottery warehoseman. Did he live in the Potteries (Stoke-on-Trent area)
Looking forward to hearing from you

[johnshaw]

yes my gt. gt. Grandfather George Shaw born 1803 in Bradfield (nr Sheffield) lived with that family in Wath on Dearne/Swinton around the 1830s, he met and married Arabella Butler through the Shaws of Wath/Swinton and returned to the Bradfield/Sheffield area in 1851.

The family in Swinton/Wath were mostly weavers but some also potters at the Rockingham Pottery there, I know that Hannah is shown as being born in Stoke, I have some other info on the family, they all originate from the Bradfield (nr Sheffield area and Penistone from the eartly 1600s and are still there as a family

Hello mrbee,

My George Shaw was born and lived in Swinton, Yorkshire, and then in West Melton which is only a few miles away.  He worked at Rockingham Pottery, Swinton.  His father was Thomas Shaw, b. 1825 at Bolton-upon-Dearne, Yorkshire (again just a few miles away from Swinton).  Thomas was a Weaver. 

Do you know who the parents were of your John Shaw?  Many of the Christian names you have on the census, occur in my lines of Shaw's and there is a John in almost every generation.

Regards
