Hi Teresa

There is a birth showing in Methlick in 1943 for a Francis Shepherd. The only one in Aberdeen County for that period.

Teresa, you are in a period now for births where everything has to be ordered unfortunately. Cut off for viewing births on line at Scotlands People is 1908. Maybe someone who is already visiting New Register House (Edinburgh) or Strathclyde Genealogy Centre (Glasgow) where more modern BMDs are available to view could do a look up for you perhaps?
