A tree on Ancestry says that the Thomas Sheppard, son of George Sheppard & Mary Sarah Armstrong was born 1853, Nottingham but then show him on the 1851 census as being 7 months old.

Hi

Sorry about the way I have contacted you all
I just thought it would be easier to name each part of the Families

Anyway the Father and Mother of Thomas Sheppard born 1851 Nottingham are
Father George Sheppard born 1825 York
Mother Sarah Mary Armstrong born 1823 Newark

So I hope this will help to find his Baptisim
Thankyou
Olive

4 threads asking for baptisms and marriages of the same family - Olive Jean it would be so much easier to stick to one thread about the same family as helpers are covering the same ground, finding the same information etc etc in each case. It's not easy hopping from one thread to another to see what's already found

If this is your Thomas, then the RD showing for the 1851 birth I posted would be correct. Radford RD covered the Sneinton area then (Nottingham now) and people would well say they were born Nottingham.

IF he was baptised then it would have more likely been St Mary's, Nottingham (or one of the Sneinton churches) looking at the address.

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Manvers Street, Snenton, Radford, Nottinghamshire, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Joseph Sheppard Head Married Male 24 1827 Tailor Master Employing 1 Man Nottinghamshire, England
Sarah Sheppard Wife Married Female 23 1828 - Nottinghamshire, England
William Sheppard Son - Male 2 1849 - Nottinghamshire, England
Thomas Sheppard Son - Male 0 1851 - Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, England
Ann Poole Relative Unmarried Female 19 1832 Lace Folder Nottinghamshire, England

Thomas shows as 2 months old on the original so would have been the Q1 1851 Radford RD birth

If you are sure the birth was 1851, then this is the only Nottingham one spelt either way.

Lenton and Radford are next to each other but Radford RD covered other areas of Nottingham too.
