Hi
I'm looking for other children of James (b.1802) & Jane Sharp.
St. Stephans, St. Albans, Herts
I have one son - William (b.1821) and hoping for more!
Thnx

1841 has only one James Sharp living in St Stephens aged 40 and he was married to Elizabeth.  There is no entry for a James & Jane Sharp in that age range in either 1841 or 1851

Perhaps Jane died and John re-married

Possible 2nd Marriage;
James SHARP/Elizabeth MYLER, 15 October 1825, Saint Stephens, Saint Albans, Hertford, England

On the same Batch as WILLIAM Sharp 11 March 1821, Abbey, St Albans, Herts to JAMES/JANE are;
JOSIAH 18 April 1819
JOHN 11 March 1821
Although William/John were christened the same day it does not mean they were Twins. Often to save money children were christened together.

1841 Census
St Stephens, Hertfordshire
HO107/439/4/St Stephens
James SHARP, 40, Ag Lab
Elizabeth, 35
Ann, 15
Christening;
ANN Sharp, 18 Dec 1825, Saint Stephens, Saint Albans, Hertford to JAMES/ELIZABETH
So 1825 Marriage looks good although Elizabeth would be ready to give Birth!

There is a JONATHAN MILAH Sharp christened 12 Oct 1828, Saint Stephens to James/Elizabeth also (he may have died)
This seems to confirm the Marriage although name is a little out.

Are any of those the correct Occp's for Williams Father James on his Marriage Cert?

[golfer71]

Thank you to Carole & Trish

Looks like a 2nd marriage may have occurred. I hope so, I'd hate to lose
some of my findings but still I want to be accurate!!

True!
Do you have Williams Marriage Cert? Does the Fathers Occp tally?

[golfer71]

No Marriage Cert but that will be my next step.
