Sheppard Family of South Co Tipperary

Hi John,

I suggest that you contact  tipperarystudies.ie  who have details on Fennor parish church - R.C.and COI. In the list of clergy for Fennor there is a "Thomas Sheppard MA" - years 1770 to 1781. Apparently the church is no longer in existence. I would check with Trinity College in Dublin for a record of the Rev. Thomas.

Crosse Genealogical Abstracts have pages on the Sheppard families from their move to Ireland. It appears that Tipperary comes under "Sheppard Waterford". There is also a website - Genealogy Wise which is operated by a Dave Bates. Check out  "Sheppard Family by Dave Bates".

Very helpful!

Thankyou!
