Hi Jon,
Birth John V W Shepherd
Mar 1923 Beverley 9d 154
mother's maiden name Wraight
other Shepherd birth registration with mother's maiden name Wraight
William C W Shepherd
Jun 1918 West Ham 4a 395
I can see only one possible Shepherd/Wraight marriage:
Marriage Dec 1913 West Ham 4a 75
John W Shepherd - Elsie Wraight
If you get this marriage certificate, it should tell you more about John W: his age and his father's name and occupation. From there, we could hopefully find him on the 1901 census.

Hi there (and a warm welcome to Jon)
In order to avoid duplication (quadruplication?) of effort, links herewith to other threads on the same family:

Thanks Tati,
You are right. I actually have the marr cert for Elsie and JWS...I should have said that :(
It tells me very little about the John William Shepherd history (listed in army with barracks address)
Although I have age and fathers name (also John William Shepherd) there is not enough to trace him in census, and believe me I have tried (spent longer on this one than all the rest put together)
I thought if anyone recognises the John VW Shepherd then they might have/know of, the family history.
Thanks for your efforts

Thanks Anna,
I have post other posts with other snippets in the hope someone knows the Shepherds (there will be living descendants)

The family Richard found on the other thread looks absolutely spot on to me, unless the John William's age is completely out ???

I understand, but it's only fair to fellow Rootschatters to cross-link to other relevant posts, and to give all relevant information that you already have (e.g. you said you had "no info" on JW Shepherd, but we now know that you have at least something about him from the marriage certificate) in order to save them spending time looking up material you already have or which others are simultaneously finding, unbeknownst to them, on other threads.
I hope you do find living descendants with whom you can make contact, but for as long as a thread is live on Rootschat many unrelated Rootschatters will be beavering away out of the goodness of their hearts trying to assist you, so the clearer any request the better it is all round.
Hope you enjoy the site as much as we all do :)

I take your point, I should have been more up front with the facts I do have, I am sorry for that. In my mind I know very little, virtually nothing about the JW Shepherd but as he had 3 children I was hoping that someone had linked into the family history.
Sorry to anyone who has done some research on this, I will be checking them all again.

PS great site, can't believ I got replies so soon
