Shep's Place Family Tree

On Mabel Agnes' birth certificate, which was registered by her mother, Ellen Briggs Walker of High Green, Ecclesfield ‎(Wortley, York West Riding)‎, the father's occupation was "joiner."

Dot's grandchildren still remember her scones.

Clem and Dot Shepherd are remembered as loving, kind, honest and generous people who were devoted to their family. From the age of sixty Clem had a series of heart attacks. He and Dot were living with their daughter Jean Sargent and family when Clem died on 28 September 1956.

Dot survived for some years after Clem's death. For awhile she lived in a unit on Robert Street, Unley, then at Ridgehaven Nursing Home on Cross Road. Shortly before her death in February 1973, when her children were sitting with her, she asked Keith what he was going to wear to the funeral.
