I’ve discovered some of the children used Lally as a second forename, well it’s listed in death indexes. Daughter Ann remained unmarried and her name at death was Ann Lally Sheppard. Some of the other just had an L, for example Matthew Henry L Sheppard. So they seemed to use Lally Sheppard or Sheppard Lally.
Doesn’t explain why Michael became known as John Henry though but reverted to Michael upon death.
