About Frederick Shaw
Lived 1847 – 1923 (aged 75–76). Frederick Shaw was a politician.
Frederick Shaw (28 August 1847 - 24 August 1923) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly from 1899 to 1903, representing the electorate of Glamorgan.
Shaw was born at Swansea, Tasmania, son of pastoralist Edward Carr Shaw, and raised on his family's property, "Red Banks".
Shaw was elected to the House of Assembly at an 1899 by-election caused by the resignation of Edward Miles. He was re-elected unopposed in 1900. The Glamorgan electorate was abolished in a 1903 redistribution, and Shaw did not contest that year's election.
In later life, he suffered from partial blindness. He died at his Swansea home in 1923.
