Thanks Annette.

This is a big help. Although I don't know how Wayte could become Wheat! Accents and strange things I suppose.  I am in Australia and would never have thought of that! I have been tracing the other side of my family in Lincolnshire and some church records in that time frame give witnesses.

Thanks again I will follow it up.

Could somebody with access to registers please let me know if any information is recorded for the marriage of Joseph Wheat and Elizabeth Atkin at Gedling on 6th November 1831. Any other details such as witness, parents etc would be a great help.

Thank you

Rutland / Re: James Sharp / Churchman

Thanks Trish.

I have found my James on every Census until his death.
With his various children by two wives.
I have tracked every James baptised in Lincolnshire anywhere near his claimed birth date of 1788 as given in the census returns.

I am convinced that he either was not baptised, was baptised in another County, or born under another name and adopted. I have traced most of the James Sharp/Sharpe's in other counties.
I have failed to find any record for a James Churchman such as marriage etc, I have failed to find any definite event for this James Sharp.

The counties aren't far from Lincolnshire and I still have a funny feeling about the Parish name.

I know I am clutching at straws but I have checked most possibilities. The biblical names of his children could mean he was a nonconformist or raised by a religious person. He did have involvement at the Freiston Church. For the period he was very literate, signing marriage records and was a Registrar at one time signing death certificates including that of one of his own children.

I have searched thoroughly.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you both.

Yes I am getting desperate.  Perhaps I should just give up.

Rutland / James Sharp / Churchman
« on: Monday 23 May 16 12:47 BST (UK)  »
I have found a baptism for James Churchman 12 November 1786 - at Blatherwycke, Northamptonshire.
Father Thomas Churchman and mother Mary Sharp.
James's 1786 baptism record at Blatherwyke (found on the Free REG website) states - under the parents' names - "abode - Wing RUT" (i.e. county of Rutland). 
Blatherwycke C of E gives
12 Nov 1786
James SHARP /CHURCHMAN s of Thomas Churchman & Mary Sharp of
the parish of Wing, Rutland
It appears that James was illegitimate.
I am wondering if anyone with access is able to see if Mary Sharp appears in any Bastardy records or Removal Orders.  I am in Australia and trying to trace the birth of a James Sharp in Lincolnshire born about that time.

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.
