lower sapey

could anyone help me, i have been looking for my great great grandparents, William and Emma Shephard, in 1881 they lived at Wolferlow, and in the 1901 census they lived at Harpley, in lower Sapey. I have been trying to find out which county these places would have been in, so that i could look for them in the 1871 and 1891 census, do they come under Herefordshire or Worcestershire, does anyone know?   glen

Hi Glen,

A good place to look for this type of information is:

that is brilliant, thanks a lot, the information you have sent has put together the jigsaw, Emma was from cradley, i have found her in 1901 living at the tan house with william, Adelade had married a thomas jones and they came to cradley to live with Adelade's older sister selina(my GG grandmother). so maybe in 1891 Emma could have been visiting either of her daughters in cradley seeing that she had many relations there. she was a cox before she married william. thank you again you have made my day.
