" SHARP " Family- Help Needed Please.

[Faysie]

Hello... I am researching my " SHARP " family...

I am seeking any information or assistance for the family of John SHARP- In-the UK 1861 Census John was a Widower ( born South Kyme Linc's) aged 60 years- Head of house & his occupation was Provisions & Flour Dealer. his daughter Eliza ( 32) was the Housekeeper and his son John (Jr as i call him) was Grover's assistant aged 27 & unmarried. there was another son Thomas unmarried aged 25 whose occupation was Brewers Traveller... all living in Borough Street, Castle Donnington. Leichestershire...

I searched the UK Census and found  in the 1871 UK Census that John (Jr) married a lass named Rebecca, who was born in Castle Donnington. Leicestershire.... they lived  in Borough Street, Castle Donnington... I also looked in the 1881 UK Census and can't see any children for John & Rebecca.. they are still living at the same address..

My questions are.

1.  Can anyone tell me where or when  John Sharp ( Sr) may have died...

2. And I can't find John & Rebecca Sharp in the 1891 UK....?

3. Anything on Thomas Sharp the youngest son his occupation was Brewers Traveller.  in 1861..

4. I can't find anything on Eliza ( Elizabeth) what happened to her after 1861

I would be most appreciative if SKS could help me as I do not know where to start..

Thank you very much,

Faysie ( nee Sharp )

Dear Carole W, Suzard, and my dear friend Ricky...

Thank you so very much for the assistance and information you have given... I have printed the information out and will get cracking...LOL.

I must apologise for not replying sooner, that is something that I try to do as soon as any help is given to me... I have a family member who is seriously ill and I'm afraid I simply forget as I have a few things on my mind at present and researching has been a wonderful diversion for me...

Thank you one & all for your kindness.

Cheers for now..

Faysie ( nee Sharp)
