Sharp Marriage look ups Gilmorton/Claybrook please

[angiem]

Hi

I have traced my Sharp line back to George Sharp who marries in 1802 in Arnesby, he was a carpenter by trace and working his age back from census gives a birth year of around 1774.  The closest I can find on IGI is a George Sharp bp 13.3.1774 and his parents were John Sharp and Sarah Ore.  They show they were married at Gilmorton on 8th october 1865.  I suspect this was John's second marriage as there is also a marriage of John to Mary Bowers 22 October 1756.  I was hoping to find some details so I can see if they are any links or eliminate them.

Any help would be appreciated

I got really excited when I saw the thread title and thought "ooh someone else looking at Sharps".  Then I saw it was you!  I will get round to sitting down and reading all the Sharp info at some point   

Im a generation behind you I think, Ive got up to John and Mary (I think John must have been George's son maybe?).

Many Thanks for that Bunnygirl.

Was there anything about the witnesses at the weddings. I'm curious to see if a William Sharp is mentioned as I have found him and wife Mary, having three children christened in Claybrook between 1786 and 1795.

Cheers
