Hi Linden,
She's not in my direct line so I don't know much about her.  Richard's brother was my great-grandfather.  Richard died in 1887 and he was only 47 years old.  They were blacksmiths and livery people.  My guess, its only a guess, is that she opened the hotel with her second husband.  I did a bit of hunting and found a tenuous reference to a Jarry and a Golden Point Hotel, which was later re-named the Terminus Hotel, in Mercer Street Geelong.

The hotel is still standing and is heritage listed and I think still operating.  I think it was one of the rare, three story buildings in early geelong so the owner must have had a bit of cash!  You can see it at: http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/ahdb/search.pl?mode=place_detail;place_id=15782

hope it helps
regards
Gale

Hi, I too have started researching the Sharp side of my family.  Annie Sharp married Victor Von Schramm my Great Grandparents. 
Would love to get in touch with the poster to exchange information.
Regards
Sue
