Winafrod? nora sheppard And Henry Hood...

Winafrod's Mum was Nettie... From Hugaford...
And Winafrods Dad Was George Sheppard.
george sheppard died in WW1...

ANYONE GOT ANY INFO?

This seems to be Winifred's birth - is this right?

Birth

March quarter 1909

Winifred Nora(h) SHEPPARD
Melksham Vol 5a Page 106


What information do you already have and what are you looking for?  Have you found them in 1911 census yet?

The marriage isn't obvious - have you got a date or the certificate?  When was their first child born?

Kind regards, Arranroots

Hi all,

Not sure if this is any use but the 1911 census seems to show 'Nettie' as Ellen Sarah, born ca. 1882

There's a marriage:

Jun 1903 Melksham  5a 248
George Sheppard to possibly Ellen Sarah Holcombe

 

[Tati]

yes i think thats right, and yes her name was nellie not netty i got it wrong, and yes would have been ellen, thanks, do u know how i could find the childrens names? and parents?

Here are the marriage details showing their father's names:

Marriage 10 June 1903 Melksham, Wiltshire
Ellen Sarah Holcombe age 23 (Father Edward Holcombe) to George Sheppard age 20 (Father Henry Sheppard)

Assuming and this is assuming George Sheppard came from Melksham it is possible on the CWGC website this is his details

33206 Private - Duke of Edinburgh Wiltshire Regiment 2nd Bn died 14 4 1917

Memorial at WARLINCOURT HALTE BRITISH CEMETERY, SAULTY France

On UK soldiers who died in the Great War records

George Sheppard
born Melksham Wilts
residence Warminster Wilts
Died of wounds

This information is not proven - just a best guess - more work would need doing to prove it.

All the best
