[Tiffaney]

Can any members please help me find more details on Alfred SHEARER & his wife Helen Sagar Riggs of Newton, Montgomeryshire who died Jan 1982 aged 99yrs.

Alfred bought a medical practice in Newton Montgomeryshire (now Powys) where he remained for the rest of his life. Alfred was also appointed High Sheriff of Mongomeryshire in the 1930's.

Children:
Helen Sophia SHEARER;  Winifred who died in Newtown...when? & youngest James who went into practice with his father & took over the practice after his father died.

Would be very interested in any details you may be able to give me please.

Thankyou,
Tiffaney

Dr Shearer The Bank no other people listed

If you do not have this information you can buy the credits to see who all these people are.  Alfred would have been about 29
