John Ader and Hannah Sharp

[0191alex11]

Hi!
    Can anyone help with the following?

I have a Hannah Sharp baptised 10 June 1771 at Lanchester, daughter of John Sharp and his first wife Ann Bryding.

Hannah had an illegitimate son Thomas Sharp baptised on 4 August 1793 at Lanchester, then married John Adair on 13 July 1794 at Lanchester.

John Adair (usually spelt as Ader?) and Hannah had:

Hannah Ader bapt 21 April 1799 Brancepeth
James Ader b 19 August bapt 20 June 1805 Brancepeth
Robert Ader b 3 December 1806 bapt 13 September 1807 Brancepeth
Ann Ader b 26 March bapt 6 April 1809 Kirk Merrington (Auckland)
Anthony Ader b 27 May bapt 10 June 1811 Kirk Merrington

There may have been other children?

Cant find anything on the family at all, or any of the children so any help much appreciated!
