London and Middlesex / Aidebrook Road, Streatham
« on: Thursday 18 December 14 16:47 GMT (UK) »
An excessively-named relative Henry Charles Riseborough Sharman is listed in 1901 with his family living at Aidebrook Road, Streatham. Maybe I'm just being stupid, but I can't find Aidebrook Road or similar on a map. Any thoughts please?

Durham / Re: John Sharman at Barnard Castle in 1901, but where is he thereafter?
« on: Thursday 31 July 14 20:43 BST (UK) »
Thank you for the amazingly speedy reply, but that is another family member. The John Sharman you cite was my grandfather's brother born in 1895. We're a large and complex tribe around the East Midlands. The parents of the 1875-born John Sharman I'm looking for were George (1823-1905) and his second wife widow Lettice Smith (née Hensman) (1836-1923). Thanks again.

Durham / John Sharman at Barnard Castle in 1901, but where is he thereafter?
« on: Thursday 31 July 14 20:06 BST (UK) »
My g.grandfather's cousin John Sharman (born Edenham, Lincs. in 1875) disappears after his 1901 census listing at Barnard Castle. I've got quite a lot of detail about him up to then. However, he refuses to be found thereafter apart from a faded inscription on his parents' gravestone at Edenham quoting 1915 or 1916 as his year of death. I've tried writing to all Sharmans in the area who are in the phone book, but to no avail. If you come across him post-1901 in your research, please let me know. Thank you.

Thank you both. My very limited resources mean that I have to be pretty sure that I've got the right person before sending the GRO my £9-odd for a certificate - hence this appeal. At least we - sorry, you - have eliminated the 1954 Sheffield death as being the former Sarah Sharman. Given that the 1952 death is relatively recent, I might write to any Downings still in/around Gainsborough to ask if Sarah rings a bell, and go from there. This strategy has paid dividends with other branches of my tree, although sadly not with John Sharman (born Edenham, Lincs. in 1875) who disappears after his 1901 census listing at Barnard Castle and refuses to be found apart from an eroded inscription on his parents' gravestone at Edenham which seems to give 1915 or 1916 as his year of death.

Lincolnshire / Downing in/near Gainsborough

I am interested in the possibility that Downings in/around Gainsborough may be linked to my Sharman tree. In particular a Sarah E Downing who died Q3 1952 Gainsborough district might have been my g.grandfather's sister Sarah Elizabeth Sharman who was born near Swinstead in 1869. I know that in 1901 our Sarah Sharman married Joseph Downing and went to live in Sheffield. Please contact me if you can confirm or disprove my thoughts about the Gainsborough death being hers. Thank you.

Bruce,
Thanks for getting in touch. I'm very keen to share information and delighted to hear from you. I really thought that this line would yield nothing further. Please e-mail me direct at (*) and I'll send you relevant attachments to study. I'm very busy over the next two weeks, and I shall be away from t'internet for much of that time. However, I'll try to do as much communication as things permit. By the way, where are you? I'm in Nottinghamshire, England.
