John Byam Liston Shaw was the son of John Shaw and his wife, Sophia Alicia Byam Gunthorpe. In 1899 Byam Shaw married the artist Evelyn Caroline Eunice Pyke-Nott, later known as Evelyn CE Shaw (1870–1959). Evelyns sister was Isabel Codrington, another early twentieth century artist. Byam Shaw came from an Ayreshire family of lawyers and clerics. The Ayreshire Shaws were a cadet branch of the Shaws of Tordarroch, chiefs of the Cla
...n Shaw. Byam Shaws forebears included the two reverend Shaws (father and son) referred to in Burns ''Twa Herds''. Evelyns family, the Pyke-Notts, were gentry from Swimbridge and Parracombe in North Devon.
The couple had five children including the actor and theatre director Glen Byam Shaw and the art historian James Jim Byam Shaw. Their only daughter, Barbara, married Rear-Admiral A.F. Pugsley. Another son, David, a naval officer and destroyer captain, awarded the OBE, was killed at sea during World War II whilst in command of HMS Stanley, whilst George, a major in the Royal Scots, was killed at Dunkirk in 1940 whilst second-in-command of the 1st Battalion. The family is depicted in the artists semi-autobiographical pastel painting My Wife, My Bairns and My Wee Dog John (1903).
