Joanna Sharpe of Cadeby?
« on: Friday 18 April 25 14:42 BST (UK) »
Looking for a baptism for Joanna Sharpe/Sharp.
She marries John Large 12 Jul 1756 at Cadeby, Leicestershire. She is listed as 'Of Cadeby' and John is 'Of Nuneaton'.

The only Sharpe/Sharp family in Cadeby I can see is a marriage of Thomas Sharpe of Desford to Judith Larrett of Cadeby, at Cadeby 25 Aug 1725.
They have the following children -
Judith, bapt 1726 Desford. Marries Nathanael Bryan 1746 Desford. Dies 1787 Desford.
Elizabeth, bapt 1728 Desford. Marries Joseph Brown 1747 Desford. Dies ?
There is then a 5 year gap until the next baptism for this pair.
Thomas, bapt 1733 Desford. Marries Elizabeth Curson 1754 Desford. Dies 1806 Earl Shilton?

Thomas Sharp dies in 1738 Desford. He doesn't have a will, only an admon and inventory.
Judith then marries Thomas Farr 1743 Desford and dies 1776 Desford. She doesn't have a will, as far as I can see.

I cant seem to see a baptism for a Joanna fitting, especially as she states she is of Cadeby. The gap between baptisms could be when she is born and perhaps baptised elsewhere or not at all.
Research mainly on Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire/Norfolk/Suffolk.

You may already have this, but I did see the Banns being called for John Large in Nuneaton at St Nicolas Church on the 4th July 1756. A tree online states John as having a sister called Sarah Large (1706-1790) Their parents were William Large and Sarah Waters. Johanna and John were shown as having a daughter Johanna Large (1755-1827) Baptised 29th June 1757. Looks like she may have been born before the marriage but given her fathers surname. All needs checking out, and I could not find a baptism for Johanna, maybe she was born in another county.
Regards.

I'm not 100% sure that John is the John Large bapt 1725 Witherley, Leicestershire to William and Sarah. It is indeed the only baptism near Nuneaton for a John Large within the time frame but there is a Large family already in Nuneaton. A William Large marries Elizabeth Johnson, Nuneaton 1721, No baptism for a John though. There is only a daughter Mary baptised to this couple in 1725 that I can see. Wife Elizabeth dies 1729.

I descend from daughter Johanna Large.
She was bapt 1757 Nuneaton.
Marries William Taylor 1797 Nuneaton.
Has only one child, A son, John Large Taylor bapt 1798 Nuneaton (My direct paternal line ancestor)
Dies 1827 Nuneaton.
