Hi Sue, I live in Australia and have been researching where my forebearers emigrated from. My gg grandfather was William Hyde, born in Manchester around 1833. He emigrated to Port Phillip, Australia and when he marriedat 'Back Creek' on the goldfields in 1861 his profession was listed as 'brewer.' His father was Benjamin Shaw Hyde, a merchant. His mother Charlotte's maiden name is also shown as Shaw. Your Genforum posting mentions another William marrying a Hannah Shaw and also the Hydes Anvil Brewery. When I looked on the Brewery web site it mentions Alfred and Ralph Hyde acquiring a small brewery from their grandfather Thomas Shaw in 1863. The names Shaw and Hyde and the link with Manchester and brewing could all be coincidental but I would be very interested to hear what you know and whether a Benjamin Shaw Hyde or a Charlotte Shaw appear anywhere. Best wishes. Yours in anticipation. Steve Hammond
