I'm not sure where the Widmerpool link is, since you mention Bulwell, Pinxton and Derby. But anyway, this one might be of interest:

1683 03 11   WIDMERPOOL St Peter   Mary       parents Joseph and Ellen SHARP.

There are no other Sharp baptism in Widmerpool in that era.

thank you . the info i have put on my post is from the marriage transcript on ancestry from Book:   Marriages at Bilborough, 1569 to 1812. (Marriage)
Collection:   Nottinghamshire: - Register of Marriages, 1540-1812.

i not sure about where the  Widmerpool link comes in but like you that is the only baptism i can find too, thank you for looking

Where is widmerpool mentioned in the transcript? What’s the actual wording?

Ah, had a look, I don’t think it mentions widmerpool so I’m guessing that that was your best guess in the absence of any others, is that right?

The problem with that is that Sharp is not that unusual a surname, and registers going back into the 1600s are not always legible/transcribed/extant. So unless you definitely have something to link them with Widemerpool, I’d be reluctant to accept that this is the right Mary based purely on this.
