[S323] Internet. https://micktopfer.com/familyhistory/130.html James Shaw left Hobart in 1860 with a new partner (Julia Meyers nee Lazarus) and his eldest son to move to New Zealand, leaving his wife and two other children behind. My great-grandfather was the youngest of the two children left behind. He was baptised Alfred Henery Shaw but was known as Frederick Shaw. Julia Meyers (nee Lazarus) and her brother Joseph Lazarus were licensees of the Waterloo Hotel and Tap on the corner of Murray and Davey Streets from 1856-1859 according to Pubs in Hobart from 1807, by David Bryce, p.173. The approval for their licence to sell liquor appeared in The Hobart Town Gazette for 11 November 1856, 13 January 1857, 5 January 1858, and 1 February 1859. The building is now occupied by the law firm Butler, McIntyre and Butler. On reaching New Zealand, James changed his name from Shaw to Sharland. It is understood he changed his name to avoid supporting the wife and two children left behind in Hobart. His son James Frederick Shaw became known as James Frederick Sharland. An account of the new life in New Zealand written by Ellen Sharland, a great great grand-daughter of James Frederick Sharland can be found here! James and Julia had a son in 1860 who was named George Cornelius Sharland. When George married in 1881, George decided to change his name to Shaw. He obtained a letter from his father that explained that the original name change was '.....in consequence of family reasons'.
