Thank you again

This household info looks like the one Mike, as his son had the initials A M Sheard and I notice him as being 28 on the info. I will look into all this and once again - thank you very much for your help.

The John you want is obviously the one with son A.M. on hs death cert.

Not sure that Lilyan is from the same family

I think Lilian is from the same family, she's on the 1881 above with brother Alfred M who is surely the "A M" referred to?

The John Sheard on the 1871 posted above is a fruit dealer so must be an entirely different family who just also had a son called Alfred.
