THE GEORGE SHEPPEARD FAMILY TREE I am researching the SHEPPEARD FAMILY, from Pettaugh, Suffolk with Edward Sheppeard and Elizabeth Basket. Their youngest son George was born in 1810 at Pettaugh,married at St. Clements Church, Ipswich, Suffolk on 24 December 1830 to Sarah Adams, daughter of Samuel Adams and Mary Vineyard of Frostenden, Suffolk. In 1836 George was convicted of Larceny at Woodbridge Quarter Sessions Court and sentenced to 7 years transportation to Australia. He left Sarah and two sons in Suffolk and never returned to the UK. After he obtained his Certificate of Freedom in 1843, he started another family in Australia in 1844 with the birth of my Great grandfather, Edward Sheppeard. I am trying to find out what happened to Sarah Sheppeard (nee Adams) and the two sons (George 1832 and Ephriam 1834) that were left in England. I would like to locate any ancestors of George that are still living in the UK or Suffolk specifically. I am willing to share the information that I have.
