Antrim / Re: Dr Shepherd of Portglenone
« on: Saturday 21 September 19 01:04 BST (UK)  »
I believe the eldest child of William and Eleanor Shepherd was Henry Ferguson Shepherd who was born at Lisburn in 1875.  You can read his obituary here: http://www.thessvlbhistory.co.uk/History/1914events.htm

My interest is in his cousin, George F Shepherd, mentioned in the obituary.  He is George Ferguson Shepherd, born 1 Sep 1885 in Co Armagh, and a medical practitioner.  In the 1939 Register he is living at the same address of Ogle Terrace, South Shields as given in Henry Ferguson Shepherd's obituary.  The father of George Ferguson Shepherd was Ferguson Shepherd (who died 1917 aged 85 at Lurgaboy, Co Armagh).  His father was George Shepherd who died in 1884 aged 90, at 'Lurgyboy'.

I would have expected the father of Rev William Shepherd to have been a farmer called George, not a farmer called William, assuming Henry F Shephard and George F Shephard were 1st cousins. Maybe I'm getting confused?  It seems very likely that my daughter-in-law belongs to this family although I am missing a link at present.

Hi, I am descended from Robert Godson and Mary Hayes and have been researching all Godson families for many years and am happy to share information.  You can contact me by email via the Guild of One-Name Studies website - just search for GODSON.

I am interested in this Thomas Godson and what became of his family.  He may have been apprenticed to Edward Roberton of Deddington as a jersey weaver (1755-1762) - image at Ancestry.  He may be the son of Thomas Godson and Sarah Lambard of Adderbury.   Thomas & Sarah married in 1739 and Thomas died of smallpox in 1761.

I am researching Godsons but I had not heard of Constance L.  From FreeBMD Jack Presler married in Jun qtr of 1944 in Reading district to either Catherine L Godwin or Lois Gosden.  The births at FreeBMD include that of (*) Presler in Jun qtr 1946, mother's maiden name Gosden.  No connection to any Godson families!

I am distantly related to this John Godson and have been researching the family for many years.  The John at Calverton belongs to a different Godson family from Heckington in Lincs.  Have a look at www.godsonfamily.com and get in touch by email.
