Title: Nicholas Douglas Sharp
Post by: bitza on Wednesday 22 August 07 21:54 BST (UK)

I am trying to find a death record for Nicholas Douglas Sharp.  She was born abt 1822 in Cummertrees and married Alexander Douglas (although no marriage record has been found)  They had 4 children together.  Alexander died in 1854 and in the 1861 census Nicholas is listed as a pauper/occasional  washer woman living in Annan, she remains in Annan and was last listed in the 1891 census record.  But I cannot find a death record for her any where.  She had 3 illegitimate children after Alexander's death and I have even looked for a record under these surnames but to no avail.

Can anyone help?

Just to update - I have now found Nicholas's birth entry for 1820.  Her parents are listed as William Sharpe - farm servant and Isabella Beattie.
