Historical information

William Shaw (c.1886-1969), son of Peter Shaw and Sarah Holloway, married Edith Jane Marsh (1888-1969) at Piringillup in the Great Southern in 1919.

William, a jeweller by trade, and Edith had four children:

Sarah Olive 'Olive' Shaw (1911-1996)
William Alfred Shaw (1917-1988)

George James Shaw (1922-1991)

The family lived firstly at 41 Claremont Crescent, then built and moved to 21 Stirling Road, Claremont in 1917. The house never finished because of the hardships of World War I and then the depression.

Olive Shaw lived in the family home at 21 Stirling Road until December 1984, when she moved to a retirement home in Nedlands.
