Re: Caroline Sharman on 1871 census

In 1881 Caroline is living with *three* of her sons, including Thomas.

Thomas married Eliza COOK in Gleadless in 1883 (his father listed as Peter SHARMAN, Blade Grinder).

Re: Caroline Sharman on 1871 census

Thanks folks for your replies, Emily/Emma alive in 1851 aged 2 and yes I do have her marriage to James Clark, according to the 1891 census James was a widow then but I have found no trace of a death for Emma/Emily.

This family is getting more intriguing to solve and you lot have just added another spanner in the works.

How confident are you that I can remove Elizabeth from my family tree records.

I think Emma and James Clark are both alive and living in Heeley in 1891. They are in the burial records on this site, buried in Norton Cemetery.

I should have added that they are called CLARKE in 1891, and Emma is Emily

Re: Caroline Sharman on 1871 census

Presume the burial you refer to is under Emma Clark in Grave PA plot 30.

Never dawned on me to look under Clarke, but when I searched this years ago in 1891 I was not on the internet and had only those cds you could purchase.

I must try and find them in 1901 then what is the betting they are listed as another variant.

Re: Caroline Sharman on 1871 census

Hi John. Caroline was my 3rd great grandparent. Not had chance to look through all the replies so I might be repeating, but Caroline and family do appear in a 1871 census, but Caroline and all the children have the surname Bottom, which is very odd! I do have a family tree on Ancestry with everything I found on the Sharman's so far, let me know if interested.

Re: Caroline Sharman on 1871 census

When Peter Sharman died in 1870 he was living at Bernard Street, Park. When the census was taken in April 1871 his widow and family (Caroline widow 50, Eliza 24, Emily 22, Edward pen blade grinder 22, Thomas 13, Henry 9) were living at Staniforth Lane, using the surname Bottom. For its whole length, Staniforth Lane was parallel to Bernard street, 10 yards distant. Possibly the family were incognito trying to avoid some debts?

Re: Caroline Sharman on 1871 census

Hi Ted. That may explain the use of Caroline's maiden name.

Thank you
