Abraham and Ann Sharp

[Dalesman]

Can anyone tell me of the marriage and ages of Abraham and Ann Sharp please?
They had at least one child, Joseph Sharp baptised 10/1/1795 at St. Peter’s Church, Leeds.

Am I finding the wrong entry?

Joseph and John (twins) Sharp, parents Abraham and Ann Sharp of Armley - 18 January 1795 at Armley Chapel (of St Peter, Leeds)?

[Dalesman]

You are most likely to be correct BumbleB, thank you!

Abraham Sharp married Ann Child at Leeds Parish Church 23 December 1789. They married by Licence and according to the transcription he was aged 30 and she was aged 24.

I’m now trying to find the surname of the wife of John Sharp b. 1795 Leeds. Her Christian name was Mary believed born around 1706, Wakefield??
Thank you!

[BumbleB]

Can you please clarify your latest response 

John Sharp born 1795 marrying Mary born 1706 doesn't add up.   What other information do you have for this couple, to help us pin them down?

There’s a John Sharp marrying Mary Brennan at St Peter Leeds on 23 April 1821. John was a stuffsinger.

Also a John Sharpe marrying Mary Holroyd at same church on 21 September 1830. John a stone mason.

It looks as if the marriage to Mary Horoyd is the right one.
