Swanborough-BROWN-SHEPPARD
« on: Saturday 15 March 08 12:42 GMT (UK) »
Does this family ring any bells with anyone??

Matilda Brown, born 1822 Chippenham, Wilts married William Sheppard born 1817, Bath..   They married and lived in Bath.

In 1851, they have a "cousin" with them, Eliza Swanborough born 1830, Woodborough, Wilts.  Eliza was daughter of William and Sarah; Sarah born in Beechingstoke.

I cannot work out how Eliza is related to this Sheppard/Brown family!  As Eliza is my only clue to knocking down this particular Brick Wall, I would dearly love to know!   There are a number of Swanborough's in Bath, and an equal number of Brown's around Woodborough!

The only other info I have is that William Sheppard's father was also William, dead before 1841,  while Matilda Brown's parents were John and Mary Ann.  John was dead before 1841; Mary Ann was dead before 1851 and was born c 1796 "out of county" from Somerset.

Many thanks.

Hi SG

Tis somewhat of a puzzle - thought I'd mention a couple of minor things - which probably won't help the "cousin" find
BathBDM is complete 1837-2007. There is a possible death for MaryAnn
1842 BROWN Mary Ann 47 Walcot - First Series Bath WL1/4/202  -  ages were rounded to closest 5 years in 1841, so the age is close to correct.
http://www.bathbmd.org.uk/  If you haven't seen this site, you may find others there

In 1841 Matilda is listed as born in county (Somerset) so slight change in 1851.

Thanks for that Trish.
They were in Walcot so that Mary is almost certainly mine.
