Hi Anne, Thanks for the birth cert and 1861 census suggestion, which I'll follow up. I've actually trawled through the BMD records name by name, using all the variant spellings I can think of, and I can't locate any likely Emily Shepherd to have been born in Northamptonshire around 1871, or any marriage cert for a James Shepherd to a Rosa. Perhaps James was just a made-up name to cover up the fact that Rosa wasn't married. It does seem worth applying for those two birth certs so thanks again for the suggestion. Kind regards Sandie In a message dated 26/05/06 23:17:29 GMT Daylight Time, pne.anne@ntlworld.com writes: I have found the following on the Free BMD's Emily Shepherd born March Qtr. 1872 Bolton Gertrude Shepherd born June Quarter 1880 Bolton. >I have been looking for Rosa Shepherd on the Censuses and I think this is >her on the 1861 Census.

Hi Sandie, I have had a good look for Rosa, Emily and Gertrude in 1881 in England and Wales, but I can't find them. Do you think they could be in Scotland. If Rosa was a lace maker, she may have travelled to sell her wares.
