'THOMAS SHAWE .. .married (2) Halifax 15 December 1589 ELIZABETH LONGBOTHOM, living 15 July 1624, whose parentage is not clear. ...
Apparently on onomastic evidence alone, Threlfall concluded that Elizabeth Longbothom was a daughter of Brian Longbothom of Northowram. But in the will of one John Longbottom of Northowram there is a reference to a debt owed by "Elizabeth Shaw, sister of John Longbottom sonne of Richard Longbottom:, and the surname is a common one in Halifax Parish. Further research is required here.'
