'Louisa Sheppard born 1837 was not on the 1851 census but i know
she married in 1855 to Samuel Saunders.'

Are you sure this is 'your' Louisa Sheppard?

So sorry everyone had to go out,
Yes it is William the father, put wrong name down
I am fairly sure It is Louisa, Williams daughter who married Samuel
Saunders .There daughter Alice is on the 1871 census age 8 staying
with her Grandparents William and Lucy Sheppard.
I have looked for death`s on freebmd but can`t find any.

Bear in mind that registration of deaths was not compulsory until 1875 or thereabouts -William and Sarah Ann may have died but not been registered -you could try the National Burials index

I thought that the leeway with registrations applied only to births......................

'Nearly all deaths were registered because from 1837 burial was only permitted on the production of a death (or coroner's) certificate, which confirmed that civil authorities had been informed of the death.'
