Family Search gives several baptisms for Elizabeth Williams, different parents, and different towns/villages between 1792 and 1793...

Now I guess its time for the "elimination game"... Take each girl, note her father's name, find out if she married, and if her spouse isn't James Sheppard, eliminate her from the list...

Have fun!  ;D

That doesn't work...  :(
Because father's names don't appear on the marriage entries.
(She may even have not been baptized).
I've hit a roadblock!
