 Mick   Thanks for offer, how far back do you think you could go on James Charles Sheppard. Sheppards are my roots, but I suspect a different branch.

sorry i must have misread when i said i could probably get back to 1841 i meant florence's family
to go back with james charles sheppard you will probably need the marriage cert of james and florence.

Mick   many thanks, anything on Florence family equally welcome.  I to have to brave the snow soon, but it is raining at moment.

Mick  Many thanks.   Also for second message just come in. That didn't surprise me as there was quite an age difference.

  David

    Just about to press post, and next came in.
    How romantic "He married the girl next door"   Huge age gap from Mary Ann to next sibling.

   Again can't thank you enough.
