Patvp,
Actually it's me who has made a mistake, & mixed up 2 William Sharps born within 2 years of each other. The one born in 1871, son of William Sharp & Christina Wright dies in 1886 in Glendevon; I will send you a PM explaining the cause of his death which is still for me a mystery, but not suitable for public viewing. In 1886, the family were in Glendevon, as they are in the census of 1891.
The other William Sharp, born 1873, son of John Sharp & Elizabeth Hutton is born in Tillicoultry, and was there in 1891, but aged 15 at time of birth of child. He went on to marry and have a family, living in Partick in 1901 & 1911.
There was another William Sharp, born 1859, who in 1891 is living at the same address as the above William, he was married in 1891, to an Isabella, they had married in 1888, I now have the date, were childless in 1891 & 1901.
I have another thread awaiting moderator's approval below this one, which if allowed would explain the problem. The identity of this conundrum is all within the records of the sherriff's court of Clackmannan, which aren't available at National Archives of Scotland, it looks they have been weeded out, but they might be in a local newspaper for the area like Tillicoultry News, but this isn't online, but available on microfilm at Alloa library.
