Title: Sharp/e family 1841/51/61 census Syston, Leics
Post by: WHS1899 on Friday 08 June 07 12:33 BST (UK)

Hello,
I'm trying to track down my 2x great grandfather's early years in the 1841/51/61 censuses.

He was George Sharp (sometimes spelt Sharpe) b 1837 Syston, Leics. He was a plumber and glazier and his parents were Thomas and Ann Sharp.

I have George on the 1871 and 1881 censuses in Syston,  when he is married to Ellen Baker. They married 13.2.1861 in Syston.

Is anyone able to help?

Beverley

Hi,

my name is Sharp,  and my lot also came from Syston originally !!

my grandfather was George Sharp 1823,
his father was John Sharp c 1781 who married Ann Glover b1792, Frisby,

i have only found John in 1841, as Ann was widow in 1851,  but have no idea who his parents are.........
do you have a John in your research, maybe Thomas' brother perhaps???

look forward to hearing from you

Jane

Hi Jane,

I'll dig my file out and have a look for you....I know there were some other Sharp's in Syston who had no connection to mine...fingers crossed!

Hi Jane,
I've had a quick look. Thomas Sharp b 1806 Syston (Married Ann Shaw) had children ranging from Thomas b 1829 to Sarah 1850. Thomas b 1806 only had one sister Mary. Their parents were William sharp b 1777 (married Mary Jarvis). William b 1777 had the following siblings...George 1779, Thomas 1782, Jane 1784, Mary 1786 and Ann 1790.

So it would seem that there is no connection :'(
I will keep a note of your Sharps in my file just in case!
