Hi Michael, Going by the baptism of George SHEPPERD (sic), son of William and Rebecca, in Compton Martin, Somerset on 21st. October 1849, I think that the George above is not the one whom you are researching. On FreeBMD here's a birth registration for George SHEPPERD in the September quarter of 1849 at Clutton. Compton Martin was in the Clutton Registration District from 1837 to 1936. Josephine --

On FreeREG is the baptism of George SHEPPERD (sic), son of William and Rebecca, on 21st. October 1849 at the church of St. Michael the Archangel, Compton Martin, Somerset. Josephine --

Have you tried looking for variants of the name SHEPPARD like SHEPHERD when searching for this family? Not knowing where you are in NSW - Is the an LDS Family History Centre near you where you can see the original records? Check the Familysearch site for addresses https://familysearch.org/locations There is also the Society of Australian Genealogists who may be able to advise you address: Richmond Villa, 120 Kent Street, Observatory Hill, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia email: [email protected] website: www.sag.org.au On Familysearch is the marriage of William SHEPPARD & Rebecca WILLCOX 2nd Nov. 1848 in Bristol at Ss Philip & Jacob. Is this your family?

Hello all, I am still looking for any information on the Sheppard's from Ubley and Wales. George Sheppard born Dec 1849 Axbridge. Silvester Sheppard born 27 April 1857 Ubley Keturah Sheppard born 14 May 1859 Ubley George Augustus Sheppard born 4 January 1893 Tonyrefail. To mention a few. Any help would be gratefully received, I know there will be information at Taunton and such places, But that is very hard to research from here in New South Wales. Regards Michael

I would like to thank all the heavy gun grey cells - Josephine, Bernice, Marsha whose input has given me decent matter to consider. It helps narrow the field. I have today been working on another line mostly today and am beginning to suffer from mental indigestion - so many names repeat, both Christian and surnames.

Hi Jean, The 1817 baptism of Mary Anne WELLS at St. Michael's, Bath gave the parents' names as James and Jane. I didn't find a Bath marriage for a James and Jane, but there is a possible match in the Marriage Index Vol 8 Diocese of Bristol 1813-1837 produced by Bristol & Avon Family History Society. www.bafhs.org.uk James WELLS and Jane KING, were married, by banns, on 14th. March 1816, at St. Paul's Church, Portland Square, Bristol. Both were of the parish. This may be a red herring, but it's best to leave no stone unturned:-) Josephine --

Fairly good coverage for > our areas near Bristol > http://freereg.rootsweb.com/ Good idea, Marsha! The baptism is there, though the name is Mary Anne rather than Mary Ann. The FreeReg record of the baptism of Mary Anne WELLS, on 16th. February 1817 at St. Michael's, Bath gives the parents' names as James and Jane and the abode as Walcot Street. Father's occupation is recorded as servant. So neither of the two marriages I found in Bath for grooms called James WELLS were the right ones as both brides were called Mary. Josephine --

Amanda and all interested in the Fry family. I have also found the two pages I photocopied from the book.. Will be scanning those to you as well. The book is way out of copyright, written in 1906. Will break the pedigree up into A4 and you will have to just tape it together. Will do my best sometime today. There is already a FRY email list at Rootsweb for those who are interested. I just checked.

Possibly the Walkers are family- remarried mother or sister. Or other family. Otherwise good friends hence their eldest taking the Walker name. She could have gone to London in search of work or her mistress had houses in Bath and London if she was a servant.

Yesterday I discovered that one of my direct ancestors David Parrett, twine spinner, and Londoner born Southwark, married a girl from Bath in St Gerge the Martyr, Southwark on 24 September 1839. Parish record found on Ancestry. He gave his age as 24 and she 22 - no occupation listed. (Subsequent censuses list them as both born around 1816) Her father was James Wells, hairdresser. In 1871 she comes from Bath Wilts; in 1871, Bath has moved to Somerset! They were living possibly at the same address - St Ann's Place. The witnesses to their wedding were William and Elizabeh Walker, who both made their marks, and their eldest child born around November 1840 ( registered 1st quarter 1841) was named David Walker Parrett. I am looking for a parish/baptismal record or anything similar for Mary Ann Wells and can anyone find out anything about her mother or more about her father? Other than the obvious - attraction of the big city - is there anything which might explain her move to South London?

Hi Jean, A few days ago I checked the page on the B & A FHS web site and found that the Bath Baptisms Index 1800-1837, which was on microfiche, is sold out and no longer available. Hopefully, someone has a copy and will do a look up for you. Two marriages in Bath for men called James WELLS are included in the Marriage Index Vol 10 North Somerset Parishes 1754-1837 produced by Bristol & Avon Family History Society. www.bafhs.org.uk James WELLS, bachelor, and Mary ROBERTS, spinster were married, by banns, on 13th. July 1798 at Walcot St. Mary. Both were of the parish. James WELLS, bachelor, and Mary HULBERT, spinster, were married, by banns, on 17th. February 1818. Both were of the parish. The first marriage looks a little early and the second marriage looks a little late, but couples then, as now, often married after the birth of the first child. Josephine --

I have only just noticed that the "Household" transcription is now displayed when you select a person found in the Family Search 1871 census. This is now similar to the 1881 census which has been free on line for many years but unfortunately the 1871 does not list "Occupation" or "Marital State". I think it was transcribed recently as part of the Family Search Indexing Project and is currently 81% complete. You are still directed to Findmypast if you want to view the original image.

Hi Chris, There are lots of pre 1837 Bristol records at Family search. I can find several of my BECHER family pre 1837 if I look for them as residing at "Bristol, Gloucester, England".

They have not transcribed pre 1837 records presumably because B&A FHS have transcribed 1754-1837 parish records and they do work closely with local FHS so pre 1837 Bristol parish records may eventually get into Family Search.

Hallo all, I have a real question in my own right! Yesterday I discovered that one of my direct ancestors David Parrett, twine spinner, and Londoner born Southwark, married a girl from Bath in St Gerge the Martyr, Southwark on 24 September 1839. Parish record found on Ancestry. He gave his age as 24 and she 22 - no occupation listed. (Subsequent censuses list them as both born around 1816) Her father was James Wells, hairdresser. In 1871 she comes from Bath Wilts; in 1871, Bath has moved to Somerset! They were living possibly at the same address - St Ann's Place. The witnesses to their wedding were William and Elizabeh Walker, who both made their marks, and their eldest child born around November 1840 ( registered 1st quarter 1841) was named David Walker Parrett. I am looking for a parish/baptismal record or anything similar for Mary Ann Wells and can anyone find out anything about her mother or more about her father? Other than the obvious - attraction of the big city - is there anything which might explain her move to South London? Jean Wood www.cheziris.eu http://www.cheziris.eu/Duterrau.htm
