Thanks LizzieL,

Abraham had three elder sisters so the dates run together nicely (must be wrong then  :)

Sarah 1795
Martha and Mary (Twins) 1798. Mary died the following year.

I did wonder about Withersdale: that's Fressingfield

On 1851 census the Fanny Halls who with her husband John is down as a lodger could be sister Fanny. There is a marriage for a John Halls in Thingoe district in 1843, one of the two possible brides is Fanny Sharpe (the other is Rebecca Sharp!).

Have you got any further back with Thomas snr? with him being born in Saxham Parva and Abraham Julian in Saxham great there may be a link  further back.

Just burning the dinner now

The Sharpes of Saxham Parva (a.k.a. Little Saxham) and those of Risby are all from the same tribe of whom Thomas Sharpe (c1740) is as far back as I've got. He married a Sarah (surname is various depending on whose trees you examine).

Data from freereg.org.uk:

Thomas (1762-1853) seems to be the firstborn and there are also Timothy (1765), Hannah (1767), Julian (1775), Abraham (1777) and Mary (1779). At least two of them have sons named Abraham!

The cooker needs my immediate attention
