shaw

A surname.

This interesting name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and may be either a topographical or a locational surname. As a topographical name, Shaw was used for someone who lived by a copse, wood, or thicket, derived from the Old English pre 7th Century "sceaga", copse, small wood. As a locational surname, Shaw is derived from any one of the numerous small places names Shaw, from the Old English "sceaga", such as those in Berkshire, Lancashire, and Wiltshire. Shaw in Berkshire is recorded as "Essages" in the Domesday Book of 1086, and in Lancashire as "Shaghe" in 1555, and a place in Wiltshire as "schaga" in the 1167 Pipe Rolls of the county. The development of the surname includes Richard de la Schawe , John ate Shaw , and William Bithe Shaghe , and the modern forms of the surname range from Shaw, Shay and Shays to Shave and Shafe. One of the most notable bearers of the name was George Bernard Shaw , who was born in Dublin into a Protestant family established in Ireland by William Shaw a captain in William lll''s army, who went there in circa 1689. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Simon de Schage, which was dated 1191, in the Berkshire Pipe Rolls, during the reign of King Richard l, known as "Richard the Lionheart", 1189 - 1199.

howarth

This long-established surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is a locational surname, found mainly in Yorkshire and Lancashire, and originating in the place called Howarth in Lancashire, in the parish of Rochdale, or the place called Haworth in West Yorkshire. The meaning and derivation of the placenames differ slightly, although as the surnames Howarth and Haworth have been used interchangeably for hundreds of years. Howarth means "the enclosed settlement on the mound", from the Olde English pre 7th Century "hoh", mound, hill, and "worth", enclosure, homestead, while Haworth derives from the Olde English "haga", meaning "hedged enclosure or hawthorn hedge", with "worth", as before. Locational surnames, such as this, were usually acquired by a local landowner, or by the lord of the manor, and especially by those former inhabitants of a place who had moved to another area, usually in search of work, and were thereafter best identified by the name of their birthplace. The will of Ann Howarth, of Carwshaw Booth, Lancashire, was recorded in 1616. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert de Hawrth, which was dated 1200, in the "Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire", during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 - 1216.
