1891 RG12; Piece: 1741; Folio 67; Page 24

84 James Street Stoke Damarel Devonport

Richard W B Shepherd 35 yrs shipwright b Bideford
Louise 36 yrs
Samuel H 10 yrs
Elizabeth 9 yrs
Victor M 3 yrs b Devonport
Cecil G 5 months  b -do-

presumably Victor M is Montague. You can view 1881 yourself - that is free acess.

Strong possibility - Free BMD marriage:
1879 Richard Wonnacott B Shepherd and Lucy Slocombe.

Free BMD - birth 1856 Richard Wonnacott Blight Shepherd.
There is also a birth -1883- Richard Wonnacott Harris - sounds like a relation  Undecided

I think you will find that very difficult.  This is one of many websites covering the Plymouth Brethren
