Historical information

Peter Shaw left England and came to Australia on 01-06-1897 with his 5 children leaving his wife in an asylum in England (she had milk fever which turns the brain). They spent their first night in the vestry of the wooden Methodist Chapel Claremont. He lived in Stirling Road in a weatherboard house which he started to build and which was completed by his son William and wife Edith Jane, who were Sarah Olive Shaw's parents. His brother Joseph Shaw, who had moved from Victoria the same year, was already living in Stirling Road when Peter moved there.
