she isn't with the family in 1871, but I can't see her under any of the possible names either

That looks a possibility

but need to find marriage to an Unknown Shepherd

I can't see a marriage for her to a Sheppard.

This is clincher

Need marriage to William c. 1871 to 1875
could be Shepherd or Shephard or another version
