Can't see anything. What else do you know about them?

A 24 year old unmarried Susan Sharpe was living in Yaxley in 1861

[yogibear]

yes that is the one. i though she married a william dodson, but someone who i now have contact with thought she married a john woods of glatton. they say they had one child william who was baptised in yaxley 1863.

Theres a possible marriage of  Susanna Sharp  and James Woods in Shoreditch December 1862.Could that be the one?

[yogibear]

i dont think so. i have found a john woods and susanna his wife on the census in yaxley,but cannot find a marraige

I'd found that Dodson family in 1871; it came up as the only Susan* b Yaxley at the right time. But I can't find a Dodson marriage either - unless she had first married someone else and remarried as a widow - there's a marriage in Peterborough reg district in Dec 1863 William Dodson/Susan Rowell.

I think you can rule out the Dodson theory - there was a Susan Rowell b 1837 in Yaxley in 1851

The 1871 census in Yaxley has John Woods b 1840 Glatton with wife Susan b 1839 Yaxley, & 4 children, William 1864, Thomas 1865, Robert 1867 & Elizabeth Fanny 1870. I have found Birth indexes for the first 3 chidren in Peterborough RD.  The 1881 census gives us another 4 children.  In 1891 & 1901 Susan's name changes to Susannah.

I have trawled through the 1861/1862/1863/1864 full marriage indexes but cannot find a John Woods (or Wood) married in Peterborough.

On 1861 there is a John Woods, unmarried age 22 living in Stilton, Hunts, & David found the unmarried Susan Sharpe age 24 in Yaxley, along with her sisters Margaret age 27 & Lucy 20.

There is another unmarried Susannah Speechley b 1840 Yaxley available in 1861. There are a couple of marriage indexes for her in Peterborough.

All the best of luck, John
