Hi Pat, This is what you found on the LDS website: Name: Sheppard Event Type: Probate Event Date: 1853 Event Place: Tyrone, Ireland Document Number: 051 Volume Number: 032 Volume Date Range: Nov-Dec 1854 Property Name: Parish: Electoral Division: Barony: County: Tyrone Alternate Event Place: Tamnylennan This is from an INDEX to wills; it is NOT the will itself. Basically, most wills before 1858 have NOT survived. Have a look at this: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/wills-testamenta ry-records/ It certainly won't be at PRONI which is why you cannot find it. Tamnylennan is here: http://www.cotyroneireland.com/townlands/images/DonaghenryDrumglassTullynisk an.pdf This Sheppard person may have been the last Sheppard in Tamnylennan are there are no Sheppards in the 1859 Griffiths Valuation in Tamnylennan. In fact, there are none in the entire Parish of Donaghenry. Sadly, the TAB for Donaghenry is not online in any of the obvious places.

Hi Boyd Yep that is the one, it has been suggested I take this information to my local LDS and see if they have it on microfiche I have quite a few of the family and his wife's death cert so even if what is there just mentions a name or occupation It would give me some hope I have found the townland His My Benjamin's wife as a widow appears in the Griffiths Valuation with land in both Reagahy and Glendavagh her daughter married my grandfather from Glendavagh so They must have met over the fence Thanks for your help Patricia -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 30 November 2013 4:12 p.m. To: 'Pat Moosman'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [CoTyIre] Sheppard Hi Pat, This is what you found on the LDS website: Name: Sheppard Event Type: Probate Event Date: 1853 Event Place: Tyrone, Ireland Document Number: 051 Volume Number: 032 Volume Date Range: Nov-Dec 1854 Property Name: Parish: Electoral Division: Barony: County: Tyrone Alternate Event Place: Tamnylennan This is from an INDEX to wills; it is NOT the will itself.
