笔记

John Shepherd (1760-1817), trunk maker and undertaker, the founding father of the Shepherd family firm, established the business in 1778, operating from 90 Bishopsgate, as here, where it remained until 1865. He was succeeded by his brother Robert Camp Shepherd and his son (or nephew) John (1788-1854). John took on soul ownership in 1823, passing the business his son John (1826-after 1865).
