Europe / Re: BELGIUM: Twins born to British parents
« on: Sunday 28 June 20 21:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

I am Richard Shepherd, grandson of Grace Rowell.  nee Neal

On revisiting my tree I decided I wanted to clear up why  “Little Grandma” as I knew her, Sarah, was born in Belgium.  This seemed very strange for the time

I googled her and up came your conversation.

I would welcome any info you have on Belgium, as, now my parents are both gone, there is nobody left to ask.

Lorraine, I do not know if you remember me, I think you would have been six or seven last time I saw you..

Not sure how to access your reply, could you email me direct, if allowed, (*)

Thanks

Richard

Family History Beginners Board / Tenuous link in family tree

Hi  I am new to rootschat but here goes

in my family tree I have Joseph Shepherd  b 1726 in wymeswold, married to Ann Chamberlain b 1750,

It appears that they had a son Joseph b 1780 who married  Sarah Cheatle b 1786

My problem is that the parents were born and died in Wymeswold, Leicestershire, but the son was born in Ibstock, Leicestershire, and all his descendants are from Ibstock

are these father and son, or is it a naming coincidence?
