Hi Jude
I have been to the Local Librury to look on Ancestry for George Alexander Sheppard born 1896 Nottingham killed 1917 WW1
But didn't have any luck opening the information even with the help of the Libirian
So I wonder if any one could help me Please
From Olive

Hi Jude
Thankyou for looking
If you could do it for me some time I would be pleased there's no rush

I am amazed at what I have found lately on Genes Reunited really pleased
Thankyou again
Olive

On Ancestry it says "6 Images" but takes you in at page 114 ....if you scroll back as well back to page 102 is him as well. It's very poignant.....

I'd send it to you but you have to save each page separately. Probably best thing is to print out all pages from 102 to 119 and then scan and save as one document

I'd do it but it's not easy from home and I won't have time to do it in work tomorrow

Hi
I wonder if it is possible to find the Army Records of George A Sheppard born 1896
Nottingham

Son of George A Sheppard born 1873 Nottingham

Thankyou
Olive

Hi Jude
Thankyou again
From Olive

The only way to be sure that is William would be to buy the certificate. The informant and address might give the pointer. It is quite a common name so depends how much you want to be sure. It certainly explains why he doesn't appear to be in the 1901 or 1911 censuses.

Hi Jude
That is interesting re Nottinghamshire Covalescence Home
I expect miners went there if there illness was due to working at the Coal Mines

You think that William Sheppard died young
Thankyou for looking for me
Olive

On the image for the census in 1911 for Joseph (Jos) it says convalescent home for miners (and he was a clerk at the mine).

This appears to be his death,

Name: Joseph Sheppard
Birth Date: abt 1872
Date of Registration: Mar 1927
Age at Death: 55
Registration district: Basford
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 370

so he didn't die in the institution in Skegness.

The Nottinghamshire Convalescence Home at Seathorne was established in 1891 as a result of a legacy left by Sir Charles Seeley, MP for Nottingham.

It afterwards became a miners’ convalescence home and in 1947 it was taken over by the new National Health Service as Seeley House men’s convalescence home.

The building was demolished in 1980.

Jude

Sadly, I think this is him

Name: William Sheppard
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1878
Registration Year: 1898
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Age at Death: 20
Registration district: Nottingham
Parishes for this Registration District: View Ecclesiastical Parishes associated with this Registration District
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
