Hello Di,

Baptisms in Brotherton give:

William Shepherd, son of William and Hannah, born 15 June 1837, baptised 09 July 1837, fathers occ Waterman, abode Brotherton.

Sarah Anne Shepherd, daughter of William and Hannah, born 17 March 1838, baptised 16 April 1838, fathers occ Labourer, abode Brotherton.

George Shepherd, son of William and Anne, born 29 April 1840, baptised 31 May 1840, fathers occ Waterman, abode Brotherton.


Burials in Brotherton give:

William Shepherd, infant, abode Brotherton, burial 13 Aug 1837.



There’s no baptism for Mary 1842 ish, so they may have moved on by then, or not baptised her, or whatever….. and sadly no mothers maiden name given in the indexes.

I dont know if this will be of any help but I also have Sheperd but from Ferrybridge.  The CHurch is called Ferry Fryston but in Ferrybridge.

My Sheperds are Samuel born 1828 Ferrybridge  in 1881 he was living in Castleford married to Mary A  they had children but they dont seem to tally with yours.   But I thought you might cast your net a bit further out of Brotherton.
