James Sharp and Ann Gee marriage Freiston 23 July 1807

[sharpray]

I am in Australia trying to track down births and parents of James and Ann.
Being in Australia I am limited to what I can get through the internet.
I have run into a dead end with these two. Can't find anything conclusive on either - can anyone help?

Have found a James Sharpe in 1851 Census indicating birth around 1788 in Butterwick this record includes a probable second wife also called Ann.
Can find no James Sharp / Sharpe born in Butterwick around that time.
Can find no Ann Gee born around the same time in Butterwick or Freiston.

Marriage record indicates both from the parish.  Also gives witnesses as John Sharp and William Sharp could be brothers?
A couple in Butterwick, Thomas and Mary Sharp have recorded births of several children around the time including a John and a William but no record of a James.

James had a second marriage in Friskney in 1821 to another Ann, he was shown as a widower.
Found and Ann Sharp burial in Freiston in 1816 stating she was 39 years old. Found no others and date fits in with James' children.
If James was born in 1788 and Ann was 39 in 1816 it would have meant she was around 30 at the time of marriage while James would have been about 19.

There must be someting missing in my search or one or both have travelled and I don't know how to track that down from here.

Any suggestions?

Have you looked on Lincstothe past website yet?

On the below page, is a Joseph, William & Elizabeth born to John & Ann Sharp, but I would agree no James.

The birth for Thomas was a daughter Sarah which was the last of their children I had found in 1787.
Possibly they relocated after that? no sign of James in all my searches.

There is a James Sharp born Freiston, 1791

There is also a Sarah in 1788

Freiston & Butterwick are right next door to each other.

There is a marriage at Butterwick between a James Sharp of Freiston & Mary Stennett on 17th December, 1787.

There  is a baptisms of an Ann Gee at Stickney, just along the coast from both Freiston & Butterwick in 1776, which if Ann was buried 1816 at 39, would make her born around that time.
