Title: Shipton under Wychwood PR look up COMPLETED
Post by: decor on Sunday 13 March 11 01:15 GMT (UK)

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to find a Martha Shepherd, born around 1822 in Ramsden (parish of Shipton), daughter of Benjamin and Caroline Shepherd.

If any one is able to locate her in the Shipton PR, that would be amazing! And any siblings too, if possible.

Much thanks,
decor

Hi,
The following baptisms from the OFHS Shipton under Wychwood Parish Register transcripts
1822 Sep 2 Benjamin s of Benjamin - baker R (R = Ramsden)
1828 Aug 4 Caroline  d of Benjamin & Caroline - baker R
1831 Apr 11 William   s of Benjamin & Caroline - baker R
1833 Aug 30 Anne     d of Benjamin & Caroline - baker R

From OHFS Marriage Index
SHEPHERD Benjamin married at Northleigh to LAY Caroline on 13 May 1818
Both appear to be of the parish

Birthplace of both Benjamin & Caroline is given as Northleigh in the 1851 census.

It is possible Martha was baptised at Northleigh or in another nearby parish. Unfortunately I cannot help with baptisms in Northleigh. Hopefully someone else can.

Thanks for that!

Yeah, it's possible that she was baptised in Northleigh.
I wonder if anyway could help me there?

Thanks!
