Looking for Hannah SHOOTER (b abt 1853) Hucknall

[Newfloridian]

I guess the only way to start to break down this conundrum will be to get Edna's birth certificate. If that does confirm (as I expect it will) that her father was John William Tilley it will also fix Hannah Shooter as her mother.

The next step then will be to answer why, if Edna then finds herself with an uncle - Henry Shepperd, also from Hucknall - living in Gloucestershire in 1891 and 1901.

Compounded a bit by a variety of spellings of Shepherd, Sheppard etc but my bet is still on Hannah being something to do with a Shepperd / Shooter liaison

From there I guess there is no other way than buying up a raft of marriage certificates starting with Hannah in 1878 as they don't appear to be on line.

Edna Tilley listed in the 1891 census aged 9 born in Hucknall Torkard living in Westbury on Trym Gloucestershire. The head is Henry Sheppard (26 also from Hucknall Torkard) who describes Edna as niece. She is in the same household in 1901.  Is this the same Edna? and if so how do Henry Sheppard and Hannah Shooter connect.

A Henry Shepherd from Hucknall had a sister Hannah born 1853
She was 18 in 1871

Poss birth reg, March 1853, Basford, Hannah Shepherd, mmn Lester
Henry Shepherd, Dec 1864, Basford, mmn Lester

A William Shepherd Tilley, mmn Shepherd, birth reg June 1888, Basford. Died same year.
Doesn't explain Shooter though.

What about getting the wedding cert. for the father's name of Hannah.

That looks interesting - so John William Tilley would have married a widow. But then why register their children with Hannah's MMN as Shooter?
