I think this is the burial of Matthew Shaw, possibly Peter's father:

Sacred to the memory of Matthew Shaw, stonemason, of Mapplewell, /
who departed this life May 8th 1788 aged 49 years. /
Also Mary, the wife of the above, who departed this life /
December 24th 1828 aged 75 years. /
William Shaw, son of the above died February 12th 1837 /
aged 61 years /
Also Mary, wife of the said William Shaw died January 9th /
1859 aged 81 years

DARTON PARISH CHURCH of ALL SAINTS
In the Diocese of Wakefield

Matthew SHaw is also a stonemason, so I think I might claim him.

Darton is the other side (south) of Leeds to Otley, but I believe stonemasons travelled for their work.

I think I have found Peter in 1841 with his son George:

Woohoo, Elizabeth! I hope you don't mind that I'm hijacking your thread a bit. Your family is on page 11. Two pages back I finally found my Crampton family on the 1841 in Ancestry, mistranscribed as Campton. If you go to page 9 in Yorkshire > Leeds > Chapeltown > District 2 you will see David Crampton and his wife Ann (nee Jackson) with their daughters Elizabeth (my greatgrandmother) and Sarah. KiteRunner had found them for me before in the 1841, but on FMP which I don't have so couldn't see them.

So thank you! Without you posting and me thinking we must be neighbors, who knows how long it would have taken me to find them. David Crampton and his father and brothers and sons were all stonemasons too, so wonder if mine worked with yours?

Dare I hijack further by just showing you these? Done by Ann Jackson as a girl, before she married David Crampton. That typed label was done by my mother.

[ElizabethHerts]

Janet, that's a great result!

I have several times found information by looking at what others have posted re. their family.

You are so lucky having those lovely items.

I have noted from the transcriptions of the Otley PRs that quite a few of the men were stonemasons. They seemed to travel around the county a fair bit.

[ElizabethHerts]

Hi Janet, I found your family:

1841 Census
Meanwood, Leeds, Chapel Allerton
Leeds
HO107 piece 1342 folio 12/32 page 18

I was confused with the page nos., but that must be the Ancestry numbering.
I'm so pleased you found them.

[Janet]

Me too! Thanks!

[ElizabethHerts]

I have found a possible death for Peter Shaw:

Deaths Jun 1844
SHAW Peter Ecclesfield 22 87

One of his sons lived down in that district.
The only way I shall know is if I send for the certificate.

[Janet]

Tantalizing.

[ElizabethHerts]

Thanks to the GRO Index I have just received Peter Shaw's death certificate and I have added the details.

It throws up the question - who was the informant, Jane Shaw?
I can't find a second marriage for him at present.
Was she his common law wife?

[kiterunner]

There is a couple at Pogmoor, Barnsley on the 1841 census: Joseph Shaw 45 Linen Weaver, born in county, and Jane Shaw 40, not born in county. Could Joseph be related to Peter?

[ElizabethHerts]

Thanks for looking, Kate.

Peter Shaw's son Matthew, OH's 3x-great-grandfather, had two sons, both Joseph Wilkinson Shaw. However, the survivor of these two married Ann Wear.

As far as I can see, Peter didn't have siblings called Joseph, and he didn't marry until 1800.
