Research Notes

I can't find Frederick after 1871, but there is at least one Frederick Shepherd born in England in 1860 who emigrated to Canada. This may be him.

A Frederick Shephard married Sarah Ann Smith in Wolverhampton in 1876 but later census records show that that Frederick was born in Salford, not Shropshire.
