ss002d6252 Posted 25 July , 2019 Share Posted 25 July , 2019 I can see only 1 entry in the effects for Shepherd but it's very odd - there's clearly been some errors in the calculation as it was initially refused and then an error adjustment made. It also shows that Thomas Henry Shepherd served as Henry Shepherd. This is the second man on the death cert - noted as died in action (must be the Easter rising). It's not the first dodgy record from the Easter Rising casualties. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interactive/60506/42511_6117463_0035-00025?pid=13544&backurl=https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc%3DuJS150%26_phstart%3DsuccessSource%26usePUBJs%3Dtrue%26indiv%3D1%26dbid%3D60506%26gsln%3Dshepherd%26cp%3D0%26msddy%3D1916%26msddm%3D4%26new%3D1%26rank%3D1%26uidh%3D784%26redir%3Dfalse%26msT%3D1%26gss%3Dangs-d%26pcat%3D39%26fh%3D2%26h%3D13544%26recoff%3D%26ml_rpos%3D3&treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=uJS150&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true His service number seems to date from around March/April 1916 (#16176 was issued 8 April 16) but his war gratuity indicates service longer service so he should have an earlier number.
