Hi, I'm directly descended from Catherine Sharman born in 1847 in Apethorpe, Northants, she married James Duncombe from Bulwick which is nearby. If you come across a Catherine in your research perhaps you could let me know. I realise this is an old thread so not sure if people still reading. :-)
Am thinking of going to Bulwick on Friday to have a look around, I live just 30 minutes away. I'm also confused as to what it comes under for the 1841 census so may pop into Oundle library and see if they can help.
