Travelling People / Shaw Family in Leeds/Wakefield?
« on: Sunday 17 October 10 17:38 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone!
I'm new to this site so bear with me :-)
I am trying to find out any information about any Romany families by the name of Shaw..particularly with links to the Leeds and Hemsworth areas of Yorkshire.
Possible names of William Shaw and John Shaw...around the time of 1872.
My dad's paternal family line has always been surrounded with secrecy and no father was recorded for my great grand-dad or any of his siblings.
There has always been whispers of romany gypsy blood and they were all dark haired and dark skinned!
Im babbling now but will add more if and when I remember! Thanks :-)
