Default Shepston/S registration district

Shepston/S

Where is it? I've Googled and I can't find out where in the country it might be. I know it's in England or Wales and that as much as I do know.

Def says Shepston/S on the image. It's in 1975, so can't put the names on here as still living.

Yes, but the person who typed it maybe made a typo. I typed in Shepston and only got two birth entries after 1916, so it clearly isn't a real reg district. If it has said Shepston/M I would have said Shepton Mallet! lol

I went into marriages and found your entry as there are only three with Shepston as the district. What does it say for the other party's entry?

*slaps own wrist*

I never checked that as I knew who he married, was just looking for the date. It says Shipston-On-Stour.
