No I haven’t, but I will

If Mary Sharp married John Harrison in June qtr 1938 you need to buy a copy of the marriage cert to determine her fathers occupation to link her to the 1841 entry

The fact that her son’s obit only mentioned he was related to the Sir Cuthbert suggests he may have been a second cousin or similar.  If he was a nephew or grandson I would have expected it to be more precise

It’s possible the 2 Cuthberts were cousins

Mary sharp married John Harrison 28.4.1838 Hartlepool.

Mary Sharp spinster
Father Cuthbert Sharp Shipowner

John Harrison Sea captain bachelor
Father Robert shipwright.

So it would appear Mary is not the one born in 1810 born to Cuthbert and Elizabeth but rather one from Hartlepool. I will see if I can find her baptism.

[Carly287]

She was definitely born in 1810

Just looked at the Newspaper record, John Sharp Harrison was actually the nephew of Sir Cuthbert Sharp, aswell as being the grandson of the other Cuthbert Sharp. I’m just confused, they only had two children. John didn’t have any children?🤔

[Carly287]

The only thing is; Elizabeth was Cuthbert Sharp (not famous one) 2nd wife. His first wife was; Ann Brass, but I can’t find any children from that marriage?🤔

Look at the 1841 census I referred to - that Cuthbert was a shipowner - not Sir Cuthbert
