Parents of Edward Shepard

[teris1958]

Hello Fellow RootsChat Members:
 
I’m looking for information about the parents of Edward Shepard (1596-1680; Elmstead, Essex, England) who we believe emigrated from Sussex, England to US.  Sorry, no information on when Edward Shepard left England.
 
Edward Shepard married Violet Charnold Wolteron (1596-1648) in December 1620 in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts.
 
They may have had two sons:
John Shepard (born 1627).  Born in England?  We’re not sure.
William Shepard* (1636-1676).  Born in Westfield, Massachusetts.
 *Father of John Deacon Shepard.
 
If anyone can find information about Edward Shepard’s parents and/or his descendants, it would be appreciated.
 
Thank you.

Essex Record Office Parish Registers. Its a subscription site.
St Anne and St Lawrence, Elmstead Essex
Ref D/P 168/1/1  image 10 is the year 1596

There is an Edward son of Edward baptized June however the writing style is not easy to read. I would not say it is Sheppard maybe someone with familiarity with the writing style can help.

I'm looking at the actual parish register of Elmstead in Essex
There is no entry for Edward Sheppard son of John.

There is an entry for Edward son of Edward with a surname that may or may not be Sheppeard on the 27th of June 1596.
