Hi Peter, I am currently researching my fiancé's Shepherd family. His Shepherds are most recently found in Tredegar (which is now Blaenau Gwent rather than Mon.). We have traced them through Birmingham to Malvern & furthest back to Nottingham (John Shepherd b.1767 Kneeton, Nottingham & Elizabeth Clifton b.1769) I'm not sure if this is your right William, but I have: William Shepherd b. 1856 Car Colston, Nottingham, who was christened on 30th January 1859 at Car Colston. I'm afraid I don't have any information relating to marriage or children, but I do have details of his siblings, parents, grandparents & great grandparents which I would be happy to share if we have a link. All the best, Catherine.x
