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
:)
-
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
http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=91689
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

Hi Sophie,
A big welcome to RootsChat. ;D
I have merged your posts with Andrew's Thread as you are looking for the same people. Looks like you are getting lots of help with it, as well as a connection.
All the best..............Kris :D

I was starting to wonder if you were 2 separate people ;D
Welcome to RootsChat, Sophie :)
Marriage December quarter 1935
Melksham 5a 273
Henry P (or maybe F) Hood - Winifred N Sheppard
The above marriage cert would tell you Henry's age and father's name.
By the way, I had a quick look at BMD and I'm wondering if the sister isn't Virginia instead of Vicky
Added: The 1911 census suggests that Winifred's siblings were Mabel Annie born ca. 1910 and William Edward born ca. 1906.
-
yes they called her virginia instead of vicki :D

Was Henry's middle name Percival by any chance?
There's a birth:
Henry Percival Hood
Mar 1910
Chippenham 5a 72
Have a play with the 1911 census index http://www.1911census.co.uk/
and you might find out that this Henry Percival had a sister Vera Winifred born ca. 1908, and that his parents were Harry born around 1870 and Edith Louise, born around 1878.
:)
-
Which leads me to this marriage, which you can find here: http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
Mar 1908
Swindon 5a 25
Harry Hood to possibly Edith Louise Downey
The birth index shows the mother's maiden name from late 1911 on, and searching FreeBMD for children named Hood with mother's maiden name Downey, we find:
Dec 1912 Sidney G Hood Chippenham 5a 131
Dec 1914 William F Hood Chippenham 5a 120
Jun 1917 Ivy E Hood Chippenham 5a 98
Looks quite conclusive 8)
-
yes his middle name was percival! :D
