Hi I have looked on the 1851 census for you. No luck on the birth county - sorry! The CD just says birthplace ----IRE. I spose that could mean the original was unreadable. Perhaps if you could get a look at a scan of the original you may be able to decipher it. Regards Sally, Coventry

Elizabeth, thank you for very kind offer. May I add another request (no hurry, when you have time): Charles Sheppard 29, probably a tailor and possibly at 115 High Street, Kings Lynn. Many, many thanks.
