Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Stainland /Elland brickwall pls-William Shepherd Shepherd b around 1747
« on: Monday 22 June 15 17:21 BST (UK) »
Northowram is a fair way from elland. Sheperds House in warley is a listed building from memory and you can find out details on the calderdale mbc website regarding listed buildings.far shepherd farmhouse is I think in luddenden on the top of the hills. One of the houses was up for sale in the Halifax courier lately so may be some information there. The wards in the area were different in those days and warley ward included other addresses.
Hope this helps.
