1901 aged 5, living at Little Green with her mother, Elizabeth Shepherd, and siblings Rosetta, Hedley, Harry, Alice Elizabeth, Sidney William and Lilian Grace. Father, Alfred Shepherd, away from home. 1911 aged 14, living at Little Green with parents, Alfred and Elizabeth Sheppard, and four siblings. May be the Violet Maud who was married to Frank Cannon, who was commemorated on the War memorial Company Sergeant Major (No. 14982) with the 11th Battalion, Essex Regiment. On 15th February 1916 he became the first 'Pirton' man to be killed in the 'war to end all wars'. It seems he was the only man from the Essex regiment to die on that particular Tuesday during a period when few deaths were recorded. His army record states that he was 'killed in battle'. He was buried in the Potijze Burial Ground Cemetery leper, West-Vlaanderen. (Burial ref. H.10) (translated from Flemish this is at Potiijze, a small village between Ypres (leper) & Passchendaele; Vlaanderen, Flanders). SOURCE: Pirton.org.uk
