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.
