Hi Tanja,
There seems to be quite a few Mary Ann and Mary Ellen Sharkeys in the area

She was definately called Ellen, as people remember that. Hence the initial confusion, So I think that it would have to be a wrongly recorded name for that to be her? On the birth Certificate it just has George. It could possibly be them, but I have a few others to rule out first.
I have found a Mary Ellen Sharkey married Apr quarter 1904 Newcastle L (ref 6b 142) but can't find a husband for her yet!
Thanks for everything so far.
