Biographies
At 29 years old Thomas was 5 foot 8 and a quarter inches tall. He is described as being sandy haired, fair-rudy complexion and blue/grey eyes. He was a carpenter from Yorkshire.
Born in Yorkshire in 1778, he was sentenced to life in the colonies on the 20th March 1813 at Lancaster, England. Later that year, in August the General Hewett set sail for Australia with Thomas as one of its passengers. It arrived in Sydney on the 7th February 1814.
Thomas was a carpenter and earned a condition pardon on the 26th January 1820. In the same year, on the 6th of March he was granted permission to marry Frances Brown. They were married on the 12th June, 1820, St John’s Church of England Church in Parramatta. (Interestingly, according to the NSW State Government records website all marriages at the time were carried out at this church. )
By the time of the 1828 census Thomas Shaw (45) was listed as being married to Frances (34) and having 6 children: Mary Brown (15), Joseph Brown (10), Thomas Shaw (8), John Shaw (4), Anne Shaw (3) and James Shaw (5 months). Joseph Brown took on the name Shaw later in life. The 1828 census also showed that Thomas owned 8 horned cattle.
He appears to have lived in Parramatta for most of his life in Australia.
He died in 1842 in NSW.
