Hi Cathay, I have only got through the first page or so and thought I could give you what I have on Ann Taylor and Henry Sheppards line:
Ann Taylor (Nancy) b1826, d21/4/1900 (daughter of Jeremiah and Sarah), married to Henry Sheppard. They had a son called Edward Sheppard b1860, d22/4/1928 on railway? Edward was married to Ann Penfold (Hannah) b1860 Wandsworth and d25/11/1932. Their daughter was Annie Sheppard b1876/9? Acton, she married (25/9/1898) in Hadlow to Samuel Sanger Cooper. (The Sanger name came from the Doctor who helped deliver him). Ann Penfold and Edward Sheppard also had a daughter called Caroline b10/5/1891, but died in 1892, buried in Acotn Cemetry. -
Samuel had a brother called Tom. SSCoopers father was Samuel Cooper and his mother was Patience Smith d.at 96 in Edmonton. Samuel Coopers father was Mattius Cooper and he was the Royal Rat Catcher.

Getting back to Annie Sheppard, she had a brother called Frank who d.27/12/1958 and a brother called Henry and her sister was Mary Mills. Annie and SSCooper had Gentilia Cooper (amongst others?) she was married to Samuel Scott. Gentillia had a brother called Sam who married lena, a brother called Edward and another called Henry who married Beatie Boswell and had 7 children, then he married Lizzie Taylor and had 7 children. (Clear as mud eh!??)
If you are keeping up....
Sam Scott and Gentilia Cooper had Alice Scott b5/9/1926 ,d16/1/1990 who married Frank Ransone.(this is the lady who wrote the letter about her grannies granny at Hartlake) Alice had a sister called Annie (who read the letter at the service) and a brother called Sam who died aged about 2 when he fell from the vardo, and also a sister called Genty.

The Scotts changed their name to Smith or Cooper from memory I think after a bare knuckle fight ended badly!
I dont know if any of this is helpful. I will keep reading the scavenge and see if there is anything else I can help with!
Cath.

at last we are starting to tie in some families.horrah

 The Brazils are the children of Annie Ransome b17/10/1925, she married Jim Brazil and 5 sons and 2 daughters.
Fighting Sam was relaterd to the Brazils. When I went and saw Frank Brazil this year, I went though most of the family. Unfortunately time was not on our side. I am sure he told me about fighting sam. He was either a scott or a cooper. It is the one mentioned in George Burrows Lavro Lil. His wife was Charlotte and he left her for a younger model and ended up getting transported. Frank Brazil said that one of his relatives changed their name. The names Cooper/Smith/Scott were the families involved.
