NOTES
I suspect that the reason Thomas Joseph Shepherd TOLLIT changed his name to Thomas Joseph SHEPHERD was in order to disguise the fact that his marriage to Caroline JUDE was bigamous. In August 1895 he was charged on two counts of bigamy:
Marrying Emily Richardson, his wife being still alive
Marrying Caroline Jude, his wife being still alive
He pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey Sessions in September 1895, and was sentenced to 6 months in prison with hard labour.
