The Shaw Family:- Giles was probably the son of Giles Shaw and Bridget (nee Stanley). Giles (senior) was born at Denby in 1775, the son of John Shaw of Lower Denby and his wife Sarah. John and Sarah had at least seven sons (Samuel, John, George, James, Isaac b.1767, Giles b.1774 and Thomas) - all born at Denby. In John's will dated 27 September 1803 (proved 17 March 1804) he was described as a Farmer of Denby. He left the majority of his estate to his wife, Sarah, and his eldest son, Samuel. The other brothers had £10 each. His son, John, was left some coals which he was to sell and then the proceeds were to be divided among his brothers. To Giles he left a croft in Denby called Plumpton which was about 200 square yards in size.
Giles and Bridget married at Penistone on 26 June 1797. Bridget (b.1770) was the daughter of Benjamin Stanley and his wife Elizabeth/Betty (nee Butterworth) of Oxspring Mill.
