• Notes

  from an email from Stella Sutherland to Tombi Peck, 16/6/2014: As for William SHAW I had been trying to track down William SHAW and his wife Ann MAW with some success. Ann MAW's father was Matthew MAW a I found both his burial and also his marriage. He was buried on the 19th July 1804 at Long Sutton (Sutton St Mary) in Lincolnshire. He married on the 25th June 1787, also in Long Sutton to Ann LANCASTER who had previously been married to William GARTHSIDE. She had had 3 children with William GARTHSIDE, Mary in 1782, Sarah Ann in 1784 and Ann in 1785. William GARTHSIDE died in October 1785 (buried on 9th October 1785) and then she married Matthew MAW almost 2 years later. Ann GARTHSIDE died in 1787 and was buried on the 2nd of December 1787. Ann MAW was born the next year and baptised on the 27 March 1788. Matthew MAW has a will in Lincolnshire. I have found the index to it on the Index to death duty Registers 1796-1903 but suspect I will have to go to Lincoln to get a copy. (Hopefully next year). I did find a will index for Mary GARTHSIDE, who married a William CLACK and when she died she left her "stuff" to "my nephew William Maw SHAW", so I knew I had the right families. I have done a mt DNA which was supposed to take me back to Lincolnshire but all it really did was tell me that my line had been in the UK for EVER. Crossing on the land bridge from France and following the melting snow north! I cannot go any further with either Matthew MAW or Ann LANCASTER maybe as more records become available I may have a bit more success. With William SHAW, also only a little success. I found the newspaper article which I am sending you. The item is on the bottom of the page about in the middle and is headed The New President of the Wesleyan Conference. I thought he just went back to England to retire, obviously I was wrong. Anyway from the article I realised his family came from Helmsley in Yorkshire. I took a punt on his name, deciding that the William for William Maw SHAW came from himself (actually it was also his grandfather) and so decided to look at Matthew Ben SHAW. I decided the Matthew came from Matthew MAW and went with Ben. So checked the military records for Benjamin SHAW and discovered one born in Helmsley and retiring at the right time. I found his baptismal record in the parish registers and his father is Willilam but I don't know either his mother or his wife (Rev William SHAW's mother)'s name. From William SHAW’s journal I discovered his mother had died in Wisbeach. His father obligingly managed to last until 1837 before he died there. I have not got the death certificate yet. English death certificates are not very useful but the person giving the information should be listed, so I will get the certificate one of these days. I did go through all the parish records for both Benjamin and Mary’s entries. I found Benjamin but there are 2 possibilities for Mary. Still no maiden name. Ancestry has a big tree in the public trees which includes Benjamin. I have looked for the parish register entries but of course it all relies on my supposition about Benjamin to be correct.
