Family name and details:  "Walker". Several generations lived in the village. Last relative to live there left about 20 years ago. Family originated I think, around 1700 from East Bridgford? Many Walkers in churchyard but not sure which are related.My grandmother was born in Shelford around 1898. One of 3 children Hilda,Percy & Wilfred. Parents Hannah nee (Winfield) / Frank Walker. Family ran the Post Office in the village, also small farmers.  I think one of the family had a Cobblers/Saddler, maybe previous generation?Would really appreciate any information on the village and family/connections. Have lived in Somerset now for many years.

• George Walker, shoemaker (b 1787 in East Bridgford) and Ann Bilton married in 1806 in Balderton. Three children born in East Bridgford, then move to Shelford. George's eldest son, William (b1810) was b East Bridgford and married Sarah Backer. Three daughters, Mary(m Edwin Towers), Charlotte and Ann, and their only son John (b 1839)was a shoemaker too and married Mary Ann Swanwick in 1862, Nov 20 in Shelford. It appears they only had one son, Frank, who was born about 1869 in Shelford. If you'd like further information on the generation before my email is bardw (at) bigpond.com Also there are bits on various trees on ancestry.co.uk which is available on internet at libraries in UK I think, it is here in Australia

My relatives lived~ in the late 1800's~ in Shepherds House~ Stragglethorpe. I believe that this was a row of cottage and think it may have been reborn as the Shepherds Pub. I would welcome any information regarding wether or not I'm right.

I am unsure of the name as it had been changed~ but if anyone remembers a lady who lived at 19 Shepton Crescent Notts~ I would be very interested to know about her life there. I think there might of been a elderly male relative of her's who lived at number 1 Shepton Crescent. If anybody can help please let me know.
