Malvina Hose - a mystery

[J.J.]

It is too bad that Malvina's birth St. John's / St. Johns was miss-interpreted on the two census  as it is always nice to see place names, rather than generic "America" or "Canada", although the date is too early for our databases to find. The one 1841 census also indicates "ind." am wondering if this denotes "Indian" or native ancestry.

I suppose the father might have been military - British army in NFLD

But there were also cod fleets and stone merchants travelling between NFLD & Guernsey

I just realized Sharp may not be her last name? Was any clue on her death cert?

The ind meant of independent means as in she was recieving her husband John Hose's pension from the Royal Navy. I have a copy of the application from the National Archives.

Belatedly an update
Malvina (Malvener) Jane Sharp marries John Hose RN in 1823 (as John William Danson Hose is born same year I suspect there was a pressing need) in Grace Harbour, Newfoundland.
Still have no idea whether Malvina was born there or just lived there.
John Hose a Lieutenant in the RN had been commissioned to survey the Newfoundland coastline and used that as a base.
John died in debtor's prison in 1834 (Bodmin Gaol) Malvina remained in Jersey/ Guernsey with the children

— in 1853 Merchant Seaman —  Great Britain & it appears he won an award as "Danton F Hose"

Different publications...but appears John may not have been given proper credit for 2 yrs surveying in NFLD!!! Really sad that he died in Debtor's prison.
Lt. John Hose -Mar. 1 1821- Snap-  NFLD http://www.rootschat.com/links/01ot3/

H.M. brig Snap, under Lieutenant Hose, was in 1821 sent out for surveying service to the same part of the world ; on her arrival on the North American Station, Lieutenant Frederick Bullock appears to have succeeded to the command.

Mr. Holbrook was relieved in command of HM Brig Snap by Lieutenant John Hose a month after commissioning her in 1821; Hose was probably the first to continue work over the ice in winter but his work was subsequently published under the name of Lt Frederick Bullock who relieved him in May 1823.   https://books.google.ca/books?id=ZFQd6dLZlKQC&q=%22Hose+was+probably+the+first+to+continue+work%22

Malvina (Malvener) married in 1823 Grace Harbour NFLD on the transcript it stated that John was from Eng and Malvina from St Johns. viewing the vitals from NFLD St Johns (bearing in mind a possible birthdate of 1804 there seems to be an issue as the register from 1803-1811 is missing. There is a possible death in 1820 for the wife of Richard Sharpe in childbirth. No other Sharpes are mentioned as far as I can see
