Birth possibilities for guidance only

• Record found in Bruton Parish Registers show a Nicholas (blank) baptised 31 Jan 1562, there are other children of a Shepherd family, no parent names, baptised in the years immediately preceding and subsequent to 1562 which gives credence to this possibility ^[2]

Thorough search of regional records found no death details.
