Biography

Ann Shepherd was born about 1770. This is a date guess based on age of spouse and could well be out by a margin.

There was an Ann Shepherd baptised at St Martin, Leicester on 25 Jun 1773, the daughter of Thomas and Mary. This seems to be a likely baptism as Ann would probably have been born before 1775, going on the date of her marriage and the age of her spouse. This is also the only Ann Shepherd born near Humberstone in the correct timeframe. ^[1]

William Platts (a widower) was married to Anne Shepherd on 27 Mar 1796 in Humberstone, Leicester, England. ^[2][3]

Ann Widow Platts was buried on 25 Oct 1829 in Humberstone, Leicestershire. ^[4]
