Hi,
I am looking to find the parents or siblings of Evelyn May Shephard or Massey, she was born in Barrow 10th May 1901/2
I know she married Norman Eric Sharpe.
I am trying to work backwards, but I cannot find parents or siblings. I have used the surname Shephard or Massey as this is what ancestry has at the time of her marriage to Norman.
Any help tracing her parents would be fabulous.

GRO INdex
Evelyn May Shephard (note spelling) registered Loughborough, March quarter 1902, Vol 07A page 141
Illegitimate no mother's maiden name listed.
*Get a copy of the birth certificate as it will have the mother's name for conformation.
-------------------------------------
There is a marriage of a Lily Shepherd to a Reginald J W Massey 1915 reg. Shardlow, hence the double surname.
Possible if Lily is the mother getting married

They were in Brook Street, Ilkeston in 1921.
A step-daughter of Arthur and Sarah Bloor, with siblings Hilda 1903, and Lydia 1905, and William Henry, grandson, in 1921.

I think Sarah Massey married William H Pearson, in Basford District in 1915, and Arthur Bloor in 1920.
In 1939, Arthur and Sarah were in 8 Orchard Street, Long Eaton, with William Henry Massey.

Hi all,
If Sarah Bloor is the mother of Evelyn, then Lily Shephard cannot be her mother, how many times would Sarah have married?
Lily Shepard married Pearson in 1915 and Sarah married Massey in 1915, so must be two different people, it is very confusing
Thanks

There is a burial of Richard William Massey in Loughborouh on 15th June 1911
Newspaper notice has the death as 12th June in Loughborough Hospital.
In 1891, Richard Wm Massey, born Trowell, Nottinghamshire, was living in Trowell, son of William and Elizabeth. Matches his birth place on the 1911 census.

Nottingham Journal 6th September 1950
There was an inquest about the death of Sarah Bloor, of 8 Orchard Street, which said that she had fallen down some steps on leaving the Empire Cinema.
Verdict "Death by misadventure, accelerated by a fall."
Dr Alan Murphy said the death was due to heart failure.
Another, in The long Eaton Advertiser, 9th September, headed:-
OLD LADY'S FALL AFTER DEATH
Long Eaton Great-Grandmother's
Mishap When Leaving Cinema
Lengthy report which mentions a great-grand-daughter, *** Massey, a little girl who was with her when she fell.
William H Massey married Doris Turberfield in Ilkeston District in 1940, and had three children, including *** in 1941

Searched just for an Evelyn May and found these 3 baptisms on the same day, birthdates given on parish record
Loughborough, Emmanuel 15 Jul 1912
Evelyn May born 10 Jan 1902
Hilda born 18 Nov 1903
Lydia born 19 Nov 1905
Mother Sarah Shephard 35 Woodgate

Although the siblings were baptised as Shephard, the GRO has them as Massey, mmn Sheppard or Shephard.
It sounds as though Evelyn was living with Richard Massey, but not married to him.
