Thanks, I will try and get a death certificate for my dad. and i would guess that she probably had the10 children, one after the other. So if she had the last child in 1928/29 she would have had the first at around 1919.. ........I have just remembered that my uncle Thomas was a baby in arms when she died. So that would have been in approx.1928. This may help me.

Pat Do you have your Dads birth cert? Was he reg under her name or his fathers? This might give a clue as to who she called herself...Sene or Shepherd?? Gerri x

reg - i was looking to find anything about her. where she was born, and when all i know is that my dad was about 11 in 1935 when she may have died. He was placed in a childrens home in Exeter. My dad died before i could get anymore info.

What info are you looking for? All bmd's are completely free on Ancestry.....you have to register with the site and find the FULL records. NOT the freebmd transcripts, which are only partial, and don't go past about 1911. Her age at death will give you an idea of which years to search for her birth Reg

Her name was Mary Shepherd and she died in Exeter when my father was about 13and that would have been around 1939/41. She wasnt married to my grandfather who was John Sene. They lived together in Exeter Devon. I could really do with some help please. Pat
