Have you checked out variants of the Sheppard spelling such as Shepherd in the index? You might be able to fill your large gap if a child was registered slighty wrongly. Can't help more with the emigration question though sorry. Jenny

Afternoon, just checking in after watching the footy!! Where do I go to look at these articles etc? Thanks for all the help you have given me so far.

nudge can someone read and advise how to transfer picture and newspaper article from Ancestry.com.....as I said one first page. Carol

Karen, I was doing some more 'googling' and found a site for you: http://cormack.netfirms*com/information/history.htm (replace * with .) It mentions Vera and Cyril (in the 'History' section). There are also photos of the school children, etc. (but there aren't any names included). I found the site fascinating. Arthur Sheppard is listed in the Veteran's section. In 1951 Cyril Sheppard was a teacher. Under the photos section is a photo of the C.L. Sheppard Elementary School (1967-1997). There may be more to discover, but I've run out of time. Depending in what you are interested, you might want to contact the town - they may be able to give you answers, or even photographs? Best of luck, Lisa Photo (poor quality) of Cyril in 1964 and 'Clarence Sheppard' in 2004 - under Council History. There's a Sheppard's Store (any relation?): http://www.flies4fishing*com/main/naboutus.htm (replace * with .) Phone Directory: http://www*whitepages*com/10001/white-pages/Cormack-NL/

Hi Carol. I'm not computer literate (can only google), but I think you can copy the image??? Right click on it??? I think you have to email the image, rather than cut and paste.
