Shaw John Agnew and Caroline Anne Cregoe

Hi O'Neill

There are Letters of Admin on Archway
http://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/
for Caroline SHAW, widow, Rangiora, filed 1938 which would fit in with the Electoral Roll entry that Althea found.

But you said she died in Victorai in 1935, so it would seem that the one on the 1893 Roll may not be yours.

Still, might be worth a look....

Bren.

Thanks for that Bren,
I was told that she died 1935 so I am not sure about that record. I have not been able to find it anyway searching archway.

Dear roots chatters
Looking for any business reference to a wool business trading as Haynes & Shaw or Hayes and Shaw a supposedly well known firm in the Canterbury province sometime after 1863 into the 1880's.
The John Agnew Shaw and Caroline Cregoe Shaw that was part of this business lived and had 13 children in the Kaiapoi area.
John Shaw was listed as a carter in the 1881 census.
I have just recieved an article written about John Agnew Shaw on his death in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia 1913.
His widow never lived with him in Kalgoorlie where he resided from 1903. She died in Victoria as an independent woman of means in 1935.
Any hints as to where I might find info on the company would be greatfully recieved. I have googled but to no success.

Papers past search shows businesses for HAYNES.

If in christchurch you may need to randomly search some of the papers adverts over those periods, as the star is not yet searhable

HI thanks for all the hints and links for me to search. Unfortunately I am in Western Australia so the archives is a bit difficult to get to or to search the newspapers sigh!.
Not to worry I have been known to get on a plane and fly to New Zealand once I am on the the right information. I discovered my grandfather William Benjamin Lyons was born in New Zealand in the Otago area in 1871. I followed his parents footsteps from Victoria, to Hokitika Bridget Dwyer arrived in February 1866 and Patrick William Lyons arrived Greymouth in March 1866. Their first baby Ellen was born in July in Hogsburn (Naseby) in 1866 and Patrick Lyons and Bridget Dwyer then married in Dunedin in October 1866. So to cut a long story short I went to each place that they had been ending up in Lawrence and Gabriell's Gully where the last of the children were born before the family went back to Victoria in 1872.
Anyway enough of my ramblings.
Warm regards O'Neill
