Marriage Mystery

[D Sharpie]

Ok thanks.

Can you see any info on the 1901 census for the other three children whom were Sharps?

George Thomas, Frederick Foulston and Amy? 

[osprey]

can't identify George in 1891 or 1901. Could he have joined the army or similar?

Hi again,

I think that george went to live in newcastle somewhere I'm not sure and Frederick married Elizabeth Amelia Chester (first husbands name) nee Dugher (maiden name)

[D Sharpie]

Scrap that bit about George Thomas living in newcastle it was my fathers uncle George (frederick) that did (Frederick Foulston Sharps eldest son)

[osprey]

How did I not spot that marriage?

Interesting ages for Elizabeth - wonder what she'll be when the 1911 comes out? In her teens?

        

[D Sharpie]

Well I did wonder   

Yes I'm sure in the 1911 census she'll be 18!!!

Anyway, I got it wrong again, it was My dad's uncle Alfred that went to Newcastle to live. I'll get there in the end!!! 

[D Sharpie]

Hi again! Happy new year to all!!!
Just wanted to firstly update you on a few things. I put the information you found me about the elder Shepherd girls into my genes site and as a result of the I am in contact with the great grandson of Christiana, and the great grandson of Emma Jame!!! Thats a brill result and I just wanted to say thanks again!!

Also, I wondered if you could have a look for any information on the various census for any of George Shepherd's brothers and sisters, and who they married etc, so I can add that too. You never know!! (no one else is aware of any reason to change surname)

Here are the names we have so far:-

Father of George Shepherd was Thomas Shepherd b c1800 maried Charlotte Ellis b 1802 d 1867
His father was William Shepherd b c 1768 married Elizabeth Brown b c1780

George Shepherds siblings were:-

Elizabeth b 1831
William b 1833
James 1834
*George b 1836*
Christopher b 1839
Emma b 1841
Frederick b 1845
Harriott b 1848

It would be great if I could add who they had married and subsequent children etc, as I have with Georges children. Perhaps If any of their desendents are around they might know why he changed his name.

Thanks in anticipation

what happened there - I've got great big gaps   

1881

Thomas has just died
Thomas Shepherd 81 march qtr 1881 Southwell vol 7b pg 248

Frederick Sheppard is unmarried, a saddler in Newark RG11/3376 folio 70 pg 36

James is in Nottingham, same wife, same children RG11/3353 folio 99 ph 55

Elizabeth has married and is in North Muskham with husband Samuel Waterson, RG11/5372 folio 25 pg 15 - no children

Elizabeth Shepherd dec qtr 1873 Southwell vol 7b pg 683 with Samuel Waterson on the same page

Frank Sheppard is a footman in Whitchurch, Shropshire RG11/2670 folio 30 pg 3

William Shepherd is now a butler in Highclere, Hants probably the family in Highclere Castle - they aren't home, but lots of servants are. He is married to Ann, but possibly not the same one as this one is from Leicestershire, not Lincs.

Ah- just spotted Harriet possibly
1871 14 Chapel yard, Glanford Brigg, Lincs RG10/3429 folio 20 pg 34
Henry Taylor head mar 40 ag lab
Harriette wife 28
William son 9 months

Number 18 is the home of John Sharp 
can't spot a marriage, but it seems too much of a coincidence. Her age reverts to what is should be in 1881 & 1891, and there are more children including a daughter Charlotte 1891 RG12/2626 folio 28 pg 21
