Holt and Shepherd related.?
« on: Monday 02 March 15 18:58 GMT (UK) »

Can anyone help.

In 1874 Dec qtr Moses Ware marries Annie Shepherd at  Whitchurch, Hampshire.
I can`t find the marriage on any free sites.

They  are not found for certain in 1881. but are in the area.
James William Ware christening : 13 Jul 1879  All Saints, Hockley , Birmingham,
Father  Moses Ware  blacksmith  Mother  Ann . Abode Piddick Street.

1891. 38 Lyng Lane . Spon Lane, West Bromwich .
Moses  Ware 40 blacksmith b Hurstborne, Hampshire
Ann Ware 40 b Birmingham, Warwickshire

Is this how they met .
1871 Ridgeway Farm, Ridgeway, Laverstoke. Hampshire
William Holt  66  widower farm bailiff b Normanby, Leicestershire 
 Anna Shephard  gr daughter 18 b Birmingham, Warwickshire 1853.
 Elizabeth Shephard gr daughter  6  b Birmingham, Warwickshire

Presumably a daughter of Mr Holt married a Shepherd,  but I can`t find a match.

Marriages Jun 1844   Warwick . These married other people.
Jane Holt /   William Shepherd.

Maybe James William is not on 1881 census because of this

yes , I already have that death.
 I didn`t put this 1881 record in because it`s very uncertain.

In 1881 Moses and Ann are not found, but there is this couple. George is also a blacksmith, about the same age. Both Overton and Hurstbourne are in the parish of Whitchurch. 
Ann in 1891 is also born Birmingham and there is a niece named Shephard . Could George be Moses ?


1881 1 Adelaide Street, West Bromwich
George  Ware 28 blacksmith b Overton Hampshire.
Anne Ware 28 b Birmingham Warwickshire  1853
Hellen Sheppard niece 13 b  Birmingham Warwickshire  1868

1891. 38 Lyng Lane . Spon Lane, West Bromwich .
Moses  Ware 40 blacksmith b Hurstborne, Hampshire
Ann Ware 40 b Birmingham, Warwickshire
Sarah A Ware dau 9 b Hockley, Warwickshire
and others.

It is the link between Holt and Shepherds I was looking for.
