The clans of the Pictish people in ancient Scotland were the ancestors of the first people to use the name Shaw. John Shaw was from the Halifax area, Yorkshire, England. The Shaw surname in England and Scotland may have either topographical or locational origins. As a topographical name, Shaw was used for someone who lived by a copse, wood or thicket, derived from the Old English sceaga or “dweller by the wood.” Alternatively, the surname might have been come from a number of place names with the same root in Lancashire, Yorkshire and elsewhere. The three counties of Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cheshire accounted for over half of the Shaws in the 1881 census. The wedding license indicates that both were living in Hipperholme, Yorkshire, England. I know that this Sarah Hemmingway was his wife because their son, Alfred, declared that his parents were John Shaw and Sarah Hemmingway. John was 25 and Sarah 19 at the time of the wedding. his father was John Shaw, a clothier and her father was Issac Hemmingway a farmer. The 1851 census has them living at Healy Hill Northuwram, Halifax with their year old daughter, Hannah. John's occupation was listed as wire drawer. In 1871 he was living at 243 Burriton Terace, , Halifax, Yorkshire, England.also at this address were Sarah (41 years old), Hannah(22), Jane (16), Alfred Bates (13) and Alice (9). Hannah had a job as a worsted weaver. Jane was a domestic servant. Alfred was a worsted doffer and Alice was still going to school. His occupation was listed as a Wire Drawer. A wire drawer is a worker making wire by drawing a metal rod through a series of holes. it is a practice that goes back to antiquity and back to 1300 in England. I found on an old website that a wire manufacturing company named John Shaw and Sons existed in the Brighouse area from 1871? to 1903 when it went out of business. The company employed 36 at its peak. The website said that the owner was born about 1826 and died in 1871. This John may be connected as either the owner, a relative or a worker. I found a number of Shaw's working as wire drawers. Alfred Bates Shaw may be named after a relative. In 1769 a John Shaw married a Sarah Bates. The wedding was performed at St. John the Baptist Church, the same church Alfred's parents were married in. A Henry Bates witnessed the wedding.
