Date: Mar 28 2001
* [Jim McCallum and Bruce Johnson are prominent members of the Elgin County Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society]

Am looking for date of death and burial location for Ellen Amanda (also known as Helen and Nellie) Shepherd, born 1884, dau of John Shepherd and Alta Benner, who lived in Malahide, and later at Wallacetown. They are buried in Fairview Cemetery, Dutton. Their daughter Nellie married a Brady in the 1940's. My connection is that I believe Nellie was the birth mother of my grandfather.
* She is probably the Nellie who was an unwed mother giving birth to a son who was adopted.

Re: Ellen Amanda Shepherd
From: JAMES MCCALLUM
To: genealogy@windemuth.org
Date: December 16, 2013

In the course of searching for my grandfather (Leon Simpson)'s birth parents, I eventually discovered his original birth registration which gives his mother's name as Nellie Comiskey (no father given). You referenced that birth registration in your reply.

Several years ago, I was able to determine with the help of Comiskey family members that his birth father was actually Ambrose Christopher Comiskey of the Ingersoll, Ontario area. We don't know who "Nellie" was. Obviously she was an unwed mother who used the birth father's surname on the registration to protect her identity.

I began searching for eligible "Nellies" in the area (long story), and Ellen Amanda Shepherd was one candidate that looked promising. However, a few years ago I found a marriage record for Ellen Amanda Shepherd, and she was married a year or two before my grandfather was born, so she cannot be his mother. I don't have the marriage reference handy.

I don't know how Ellen Amanda Shepherd's name keeps getting associated with my grandfather. I shared my theory with a couple of other genealogists, and I think they were over-eager to assign her name to my pedigree.

Therefore, my grandfather and his descendents do not belong in the Windemuth genealogy.....I don't even know what that connection would be to Ellen Amanda Shepherd even if we did descend from her.

Thanks for correcting this.
Jim McCallum
