Hello Margaret,
You have to click on to the phrase more editions in blue.
The John Sharp who was master of the Recorder may have been a brother and the Lucy Sharp who had a ship named after her, a neice. Unfortunately the Lloyds captains list is only on line to M so far.
At the date William and Mary were married, people tended to find partners within a small social circle of business and family contacts. I noticed that Pricilla married a Golborne whose father was from Holt in Denbighshire just the other side of Wrexham from Ruabon. Bethell would be an easier target than Edwards I guess it would be from a wealthy godparent, but it might be a maternal aunt. Flintshire and that part of Denbighshire are pretty close together. People who were Methodist (Chapel) in poverty often became Anglican (Church) in prosperity!

Hello Margaret,
You are quite right about the Sharps of Sharp & Co. The parners were two brothers John Sharp of Gateshead and Robert Sharp of Sunderland who inherited connections in the coal shipping business. I looked up their Tyne and Wear registered ships in Christies Shipping Annual on Google books. No sign of a William in the family.

Hello again Margaret,
A correspondent to the mariners-L website has been in touch saying that he has been researching William Sharp and has information on the ships and voyages. Are you still interested in that aspect? He signs himself Thomas Tompkins Ph D and his e-mail identity as Tantallon.

Hello Margaret,
Dr Thomas Tomkins e mail address is Moderator Comment: email address removed to prevent spam and other abuse. Please use our personal message system to exchange such data.
He has a piece on the Victoria and its dodgy master John Carphin which is his particular interest, at www.maritimeheritage.org/captains/carphinJohn. You notice he mentioned the goldfields' attraction to ships crews as a factor. He has promised to send some further information.

Hello again Margaret,
What details Dr Tompkins has of the Sharp family you probably have already, the dates of birth marriages and deaths, also the date of the Clifton estate conveyance 27th Aug 1841 and the bankruptcy notice of 28th May 1852. He also has an e-file of 30plus paintings by Alfred Sharp.

But I can only find Lloyds Register of Shipping in Google books for 1820 and then 1865/68. Where do I look for the others? BUT I did find on the mariners-L site, 2 more ships...the Utopia sailed to Australia in 1854 and the Una sailed to Sierra Leone. The background to the family and now the connection to the immigration to Australia I find so interesting. I really cannot thank you enough for your interest and help.
