Evelyn May Shephard or Massey - Barrow upon Soar

[kathleenmitchell]

Hi,
I am looking to find the parents or siblings of Evelyn May Shephard or Massey, she was born in Barrow  10th May 1901/2

I know she married Norman Eric Sharpe.

I am trying to work backwards, but I cannot find parents or siblings.  I have used the surname Shephard or Massey as this is what ancestry has at the time of her marriage to Norman.

Any help tracing her parents would be fabulous.

Evelyn May Shephard (note spelling) registered Loughborough, March quarter 1902, Vol 07A page 141

Illegitimate no mother's maiden name listed.

*Get a copy of the birth certificate as it will have the mother's name for conformation.
-------------------------------------
There is a marriage of a Lily Shepherd to a Reginald J W Massey 1915 reg. Shardlow, hence the double surname.

Possible if Lily is the mother getting married

They were in Brook Street, Ilkeston in 1921.

A step-daughter of Arthur and Sarah Bloor, with siblings Hilda 1903, and Lydia 1905, and William Henry, grandson, in 1921.

I think Sarah Massey married William H Pearson, in Basford District in 1915, and Arthur Bloor in 1920.

In 1939, Arthur and Sarah were in 8 Orchard Street, Long Eaton, with William Henry Massey.

Hi all,

If Sarah Bloor is the mother of Evelyn, then Lily Shephard cannot be her mother, how many times would Sarah have married?

Lily Shepard married Pearson in 1915 and Sarah married Massey in 1915, so must be two different people, it is very confusing

Thanks
