Can anyone help me find more info re the parents/family of Caroline Shepherd.
She was married to John Radley in 1849 in East Retford and they lived in Nottinghamshire. According to their marriage record Caroline's father was Joseph Shepherd ( his trade was a Glover) and the census returns listed Caroline's place of birth as Bath, Somerset.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Caroline does not appear to be on the 1841 census in any way that I can find, nor can I find a Joseph Shepherd who could be clearly identified as her father.
Since she would have been born about 1816-1821 she could only be located from Parish Records.
The only Caroline in the census of the right age and approximate location is at Crewkerne, age 25 in 1841 but with a father Henry, an agricultural labourer.

Thanks for your help - I did find Caroline Shepherd in the 1841 Census (age 20). Both she and John Radley were listed as working at Babworth Hall, East Retford.
Have no idea if Caroline Shepherd's family remained in Bath - hopefully I can get a lead from the parish records.
