Can any members please help me find more details on Alfred SHEARER & his wife Helen Sagar Riggs of Newton, Montgomeryshire who died Jan 1982 aged 99yrs.
Alfred bought a medical practice in Newton Montgomeryshire (now Powys) where he remained for the rest of his life. Alfred was also appointed High Sheriff of Mongomeryshire in the 1930's.
Children:
Helen Sophia SHEARER; Winifred who died in Newtown...when? & youngest James who went into practice with his father & took over the practice after his father died.
Would be very interested in any details you may be able to give me please.
Thankyou,
Tiffaney

also
Dr Shearer The Bank no other people listed
If you do not have this information you can buy the credits to see who all these people are. Alfred would have been about 29

Hi,
I realise this was posted quite some time ago however am interested to know if the Shearers you posted about are related and how?
Stumbled on this link when I found Alfred SHEARER mentioned in a will I was looking up.
(Not sure why I googled him but so glad I did!) Maybe we're related somehow?! lol.
Ellen Sagar (RIGG) was my 2nd cousin 3 times removed (according to my computer lol).
Very exciting! Please get in touch soon.
Kind regards,
-
Hello Lilygirl :)
Sadly Tiffaney has passed away. Perhaps another relative will see your post and reply in the future.
Kind regards
Morgan
