Default Help please - name confusions

I have the marriage of William John Lally and Elizabeth Luke march qtr 1863 in Aston.

FMP has the parish record

https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=R_846306726

It gives his fathers name as Michael Shephard Lally.

William John Lally's birth was registered in 1841 at St James Clerkenwell. MMN HEBBARD

A marriage between Michael Sheppard Lally and Sarah Hebbard is on Family Search for 6 June 1836 at St Andrews Holborn

1841 census has Michael, Sarah and daughter Ann Lally at St James Clerkenwell. Michael is a tailor born in Ireland.

I can't find them in 1851 but in 1861 Sarah's husband is John H Sheppard same as as Michael should be, a tailor and born in Ireland. All the family are called Sheppard now. Definitely the same family as William has the same occupation as in 1871 (watch hand maker)

1871 John Henry Shepperd is a widower and living with William and his family as are William's siblings. John Henry was born in Westport, County Mayo.
Ann's occupation of actress made me smile, Sarah is a ballet girl.

Are Michael Shepperd Lally and John Henry Shepperd the same man?
I haven't found a death for Michael.

Or

Did Sarah marry his brother /cousin? I can't find another marriage for her.
