Sheppard/ O' connor

[moonraker 1937]

  I don't know if someone can help me, please

   In 1911 census I have found

   Sheppard Florence  Head Married (i believe that should be widowed) age 51 b Oxford
   O'connor James       Son    "   "                                                                26    Hackney
    O'connor Mabel      D-I-L   "   "                                                                26        "       
   O'connor  Theresa   Gr/daug                                                                      1    Leyton
   O'connor  Ethel        Daug  Single                                                             22   Hackney
   O'connor  Arthur      Son       "                                                                   17       "

   On James marr.cert  (1909) his father listed as
   Brian R O'connor   deceased

    I have not been able to find a marriage between Florence and Brian est. (1880-1884)
     I have also not been able to find a birth of Florence Sheppard

   Any assistance  appriciated.

i to cannot find a birth for a florence sheppard
but on the 1891 census florence is down as florence.e.o'connor and brian is down as brian.r.o'connor
there is a marriage in 1882 in wolverhampton of a brian.r.o'connor and on the same page is a florence ellen watson
could florence sheppard be a married name from a second marr after brian died?
might be worth a look for a marriage between florence o'connor and a mr sheppard.
having said that i cannot find a florence ellen watson born oxford birth.

now just need to find the death of brian o'connor before 1903.

in 1901 florence was living with her children in springfield road,edmonton she was down as being widowed.
so brian died sometime between 1891 and 1901.
unfortunately i cannot find a death
maybe SKS will have better luck
