Notes for Hannah ‘Annie’ Maria Sharp
Her birth index:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
SHARP, HANNAH MARIA GREEN
GRO Reference: 1852 M Quarter in HUNSLET Volume 09B Page 297
________________________
In Q3 of 1878 an Anne Maria Sharp married either John William Arthur or John Eastwood Lishman in Leeds district. One way forward is to get one marriage certificate and see if it is her father that is on it. Another way forward is to look at the 1881 censuses fr the Arthur and Lishman families to see if the wives were Anne and if so, does she share the birth information of her unmarried days.
________________________
In 1881 it looks like John William Arthur is the man except for one detail, that Anni M gave her birth as 1854, two year late. But her husband’s birth was given as 1858 so she may have been disguising that she was six years older than him. They were at Huddersfield Road, Wike aka Wyke, Bradford, Yorkshire (West Riding):

And there is no Annie M Lishman in the 1881 census so the above ‘must be’ her.

In 1891 she had a further two daughters, making three in all. They were then at Quarry Mount Street, Leeds, Yorkshire (West Riding):

The family was the same in 1901 with these Oxccupations for the three daughters: Nil (for the eldest), Dressmake, and Tea packer for the youngest.

In 1911 the household was again the same though she gave the information that they had been married for 32 years, had four children of whom one had died. They were living in a seven room house at 33 Hartley Crescent Woodhouse Leeds, Leeds, Yorkshire & Yorkshire (West Riding):

The ‘Industry’ column shows that Florence was working at Kirks Dyehouse, the same place as her father.
_________________________
Her and John’s children were:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
ARTHUR, MARY ANN SHARP
GRO Reference: 1879 J Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 562
ARTHUR, ANNIE SHARP
GRO Reference: 1882 M Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 559
ARTHUR, MINNIE SHARP
GRO Reference: 1883 J Quarter in BRADFORD YORKSHIRE Volume 09B Page 9
ARTHUR, FLORENCE SHARP
GRO Reference: 1885 J Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 540
The last but one may be the fourth child who was said to have died before 1911 and did not appear in any census but it is odd that she was born, or registered, in Bradford. But no other Arthur-Sharp births have been found in England.
The following looks stongly like Minnie’s death:
Name: Age at Death (in years):
ARTHUR, MINNIE 3
GRO Reference: 1886 S Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 361
I think the evidence is complete that Minnie was their fourth child who died young.
_______________________
In 1939 none of them could be identified. Probably Annie and John had died and possibly the daughters had married.
