James Churchman

[Pennie]

Hi Ray ...

What is your earliest documented record on James SHARP?

I think I've found him on the 1861 and 1871 censuses, but have you found him on any earlier censuses?

Would be interested to know the above, as I may have spotted something!

Hello Pennie

Found him in the 1851 census in Boston (Freiston) but with an E on the end.

He was on all  then until his death in Freiston in 1875.

He was married twice - both Ann.  Firstly Ann Gee then Ann Stell?

All of his children bar one, an Ann had biblical type names - Aquila, Priscilla, Apollos, Cornelious, Alexander etc.

I found both his marriages and all the children's baptisms.

I am really baffled.

Thanks for looking into this for me.

PS forgot to mention the very earliest record was his first wedding to Ann Gee in Freiston in 1807.

His second marriage was in Friskey in 1821 to Ann Stell.

After much trolling and brick walls through many counties searching for James Sharp I find myself back at this point.
Firstly I am wondering if there is any mention of James Churchman / Sharp or Mary Sharp in Removal Orders or Bastardy records that can be found.
Secondly I am wondering if there is any way I can copy this search record to Rutland or another county's search page?

Any information will be very appreciated.
