Elizabeth Shaw

Thomas Shaw’s will was proved 6th May 1600 in the Prerogative Court of York.

He married (1) Halifax, 10th July 1569, Elizabeth Mawde, who is buried from Halifax Church 16th April 1588, dau. of John Mawde of the Clough Head, Northowram. (2) Halifax, 15th December 1589, Elizabeth Longbotham, who was living 15th July 1624. There were several men named Thomas Shaw in Halifax Parish at the same time, but, in land records and court actions, this Thomas is clearly described as the father of Abraham, and the husband of Elizabeth Mawd and Elizabeth Longbothom, plus he is clearly described as the son of Christopher of Northowram.
