Hi bjames57

Looking at the local newspapers for Batley there was a George Sheard who was very much into local politics, opposed the supply of gas to the town, and lived at the Woodlands, Upper Batley.

Is he one of your Sheards; He had a daughter called Fanny and a son called Percy?

On the other hand a Mark Sheard lived at Middle Road, Earlsheaton, Dewsbury in 1882, where he sold soda Ash at £6 a ton and another Mark Sheard was charged with manslaughter at Soothill, not far from Batley, in 1853.

bjjames57,
May I ask if your SHEARDS were nonconformists? I have a batch of Sheards who were and were in Halifax in mid 19th C... wondering if we have anything in common here...
