Henry Sharp

[rhoda53]

Can anyone help?
I am looking for a great, great, great uncle who I have lost after the 1861 census.
He is Henry Sharp b.approx. 1822  in Wrangle, Lincolnshire. He is the son of John and Mary Sharp.
He married an Eliza Ann Stray in 1853 and had two children, Ann and Henry.
Maybe they emmigrated to Australia but I don't know where to start looking so any help or advice would be gratefully received.

I think you are on to something there Jenn.

The township of Wrangle looks to be about 10 kilometres from Boston Lincolnshie.
Wonder if Henry [senior's ] mother was named Barton.

As a couple, Henry and Eliza are quite young and one would expect more children born to them after their arrival.

Hello Jenn,
 as far as I know Eliza's parents were John and Harriet Sharp.
Thank you for your help. Patricia
