[list-cumbria] Shaw House

[Petra Mitchinson]

There is a Shawhead in Stapleton parish at grid reference NY466729. It is about 1 km from Moss Side.

 

There is also a Shawstown at NY461746.

 

Perhaps the main house at either Shawhead or Shawstown was known as Shaw House once upon a time? Just guessing...

Hi there,

I am trying to identify a place in the parish of Stapleton, perhaps the township of Solport, called Shaw House.  I have found no likely candidate in the Old Cumbria Gazetteer so am hoping that someone with a knowledge of local history  may be familiar with it. Here is my evidence for it as related to my family:

 

James Routledge lived here from at least January of 1821 until his death on 5 November 1826.

*        Tombstone in Stapelton churchyard:  C49) In memory of James ROUTLEDGE who died at Showhouse Novr 5th 1826 aged 75 years.

*        Buried 7 November 1826, abode, Shawhouse (Stapleton BTs)

*        Death notice of widow Jane Routledge, Carlisle Patriot 21 August 1846   "At White Close, in the parish of Stapleton, on the 13th inst., Jane, widow of the late Mr James Routledge, of Shaw House . . ."

 

Several of his grandchildren were born and died here between 1821 and 1826:

John Barnfather (son of daughter Isabella)                                                       Bapt. 28 January 1821, abode Shaw House (Stapleton BTs);                                                  

         Buried 21 April 1821, abode Shawhouse (Stapleton BTs)

Jane Routledge (daughter of son Richard)                                                           Bapt. 20 July 1823, abode Shawhouse  (Stapleton BTs)

Isabella Routledge (daughter of son Richard)                                                      Bapt. 20 October 1824, abode Shawhouse (Stapleton BTs)

Mary Routledge (daughter of son Richard)                                                          Bapt. 15 December 1826, abode Shawhouse (Stapleton, BTs)

(Richard’s next child, Mabel, was baptized 8 Jan 1830 and her parents were living at Moss side) 

Thanks for your help.

 

Regards,

Jeanette Hurst
