MY NANA CATHERINE LILION SHEPHERD /MAIDEN NAME WOOD. CATHERINE WAS BORN 1904 AND HAD A SISTER BARBRA I THINK. CATHERINE WAS MARRIED TO HARRY GORDON SHEPHERD IN 1939, THEY HAD SIX CHILDREN.IM TRYING TO FINDCATHERINES PARENTS WHICH ARE MY GREAT GRAN D PARENTS NAME WOOD. THEY LIVED AT 6 CROOKS COTTAGES WALTERINGBURY KENT, I HAVE ACCESS TO THE CENSUS BUT NOT THIS FAR, CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE MANYTHANKS THERESA.

Are you sure she was born in 1904? Marrying when you're 35 and then going on to have 6 children is unusual.

Given that she lived in Kent, I think the birth is more likely to be this one??

I think you need to get her marriage cert. to check her age and father's name.

Theresa,

I can't stress enough that you need to get Catherine's marriage certificate.

With a common name like Wood it is easy to go down the wrong path, as you clearly can see with that 1904 birth you thought was hers.

Rose

Theresa, found the marriage

Frederick J Wood = Lily R Collins, Bromley dis Dec Quarter 1917 2a 1292
