Hi Antony Thanks for your reply. I had thought of this Amelia Ann Shepherd at first, then when I saw her marriage in 1840 I sent for the cert. Unfortunately this Amelia married Jacob Hibberd and her father was the same George Sydney Shepherd, Artist. My brick wall couple is a real mystery. I do suspect that my William Alden may have named his first son William after his father, but proving it is tending to be difficult Thanks again Jen (NSW) On 22/10/2011 5:48 PM, C5D wrote: > I don't know if it is any help to you but on the London Baptisms there is a > baptism of Amelia Ann Shepherd in 1817 with a date of birth given as Feb > 27th 1815. > > On the same day a bother was baptized Alfred Hampden Shepherd was baptized. > > I cannot read the address but the parents were George and Ann.
