Hi

For Amy I can only find one death between 1871-1881 in Cambridgeshire, roughly the right dates on Freebmd.

Amy Sharp March Qtr. 1881 Ely Reg. District.  Vol. 3b  Page 406

Details of burial

Amy SHARP buried 11 February 1880 in Wilburton, aged 84.

Hi

There are quite a few death registrations for a William SHARPE in Cambridgeshire but I think this is the one.

Freebmd : William SHARPE died Dec. Qtr. 1865 Ely Reg. District.  Vol. 3b  Page 374.

Burial date:

William SHARP of the parish buried 1 January 1866 in Wilburton aged 61 years.

Thanks for these :). Both look possibilities.  Can you advise if it is possible to send somewhere for certificates/would it be possible for me to get more details? e.g. address at the time etc?

Hi,

Here is the link to the GRO, certs. cost £9.25 each. Will get more info from cert., i.e. ~ name, date and cause of death, occupation and usual address, plus the informant who gave information for the death registration.

Hope this helps  :)
