1891 census in Newport
« on: Tuesday 02 January 24 11:57 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find out if a family named Sheppard are related to my ancestors of the same name.
William and Elizabeth Ann Sheppard lived in 6 East Usk Road in 1895. They lost several of their children (Samuel in 1895, and also Henry, Martha, Mary Ann and Florence Maria between 1888 and 1898). In 1901, the family were living at number 11 East Usk Road.
If anyone could find them, I'd like to know if there were any other siblings which may be related to me, notably Mark (b 1824), Sarah Ann (b 1824), Celia Annis/Annie (b 1827), Hester Anna (b 1830), May Eliza (b 1833) and Betty Susan (b 1834).
Mark was my GGG grandfather.
Thank you 😊

 Thank you both.

My GGG grandfather, Mark, was born in Thornbury.

The marriage you have, William Brain and Elizabeth Ann is the couple who lost their son Samuel (showing aged 6 weeks on the 1891 census that ColC has found.)

Perhaps this is the wrong branch of the family but the connection to Gloucestershire and the West Country is accurate for my family.

Forgot to mention that William’s father was Thomas according to the transcript.
That may help you.

This looks like William in 1851 1704 /39/22
Bedminster
His mother Harriet is transcribed as ‘Stafford’’. She is a widow.

There is a marriage - 1852, Clifton district
Thomas Sheppard and Harriett Brain are on the same sheet.
