Sharman in Ellesmere, Shropshire
Does anyone link to this Sharman. If so, please get in touch.
„h Henry Sharman was born on 5th December 1825, and christened at Swinstead on Christmas Day. His subsequent history is unknown. He may well be the Swinstead-born Henry Sharman who claimed to be 53 years old (i.e. born 1827/8) shown in the 1881 census as resident at Laurel Cottage, 79 Scotland Street, Ellesmere in Shropshire. Living with this Henry at the time were Charles Sharman (24), Mary Ann Sharman (24), Henry Sharman (22) and Margaret A. Sharman (20) - all unmarried and born at Ellesmere. This theory is strengthened by the presence of a 4 years old Mary Ann Sharman who was born in London being recorded at Swinstead at the time of the 1861 census. If these references are to one and the same Mary Ann, we can take it that Henry Sharman and his family moved around the country from Lincolnshire via London to Shropshire.
