This is an attempt to find relationships within the SHARP/HOUSE pattern in the 1871 Census of Ontario. http://data1.archives.ca/netacgi/nph-brs?s2=sharp&s3=&s1=brantford%0D%0A&l=20&s4=&s5=&Sect1=IMAGE&Sect2=THESOFF&Sect4=AND&Sect5=CEN1PEN&Sect6=HITOFF&d=CEN1&p=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.archives.ca%2Fexec%2Fnaweb.dll%3Fbrs%3F02010802%7Ce%7Ctop%7C0&r=0&f=S Name Age Birthplace District Sub-district SHARP , ANDREW 65 SCOTLAND BRANT S. or W.

Brantford East SHARP , HORACE 25 ONTARIO BRANT N. or E. Brantford East HOUSE , THERESA 24 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Brantford Town Theresa House is the daughter of Hannah E. HOUSE. Her mother called her, "Tressa." So, we have found one of the family in Brant S or W. Brantford Town. Now, observing the persons above in the same location, we find the following: SHARP , ANDREW 65 SCOTLAND BRANT S. or W. Brantford Town SHARP , JOHN 30 ENGLAND BRANT S. or W. Brantford Town SHARP , JOHN 48 NB BRANT S. or W Brantford West SHARP , WILLIAM 52 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Brantford West Of those found, possible one or two of Canada might be related. Again, in searching for HOUSE in Brant, I find, the following persons: HOUSE , CHARLOTTE 29 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Tuscarora HOUSE , DIBBY 13 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Tuscarora HOUSE , ELIZABETH 8 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Tuscarora HOUSE , LUCY 5 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Tuscarora HOUSE , THERESA 24 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Brantford Town HOUSE , WILLIAM 35 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Tuscarora All, except Theresa, are of Indian origin. So, she, and possibly the family, lived amongst Native Americans, possibly from the 1700s. Elizabeth House, born c. 1889?, would have been 18 years old. However, an exact birth date for her is unknown. Being of Indian origin, this Elizabeth is likely not she. Returning to SHARP, and searching for Brant, I find the following persons: SHARP , ANDREW 65 SCOTLAND BRANT S. or W. Brantford Town SHARP , JOHN 30 ENGLAND BRANT S. or W. Brantford Town SHARP , JOHN 48 NB BRANT S. or W. Brantford West SHARP , WILLIAM 52 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Brantford West SHARP , JAMES 63 SCOTLAND BRANT N. or E. Dumfries South SHARP , ALEXANDER 38 ONTARIO BRANT N. or E. Onondaga SHARP , JAMES 40 ONTARIO BRANT N. or E. Brantford East SHARP , DAVID 71 AMERICA BRANT N. or E. Brantford East SHARP , HENRY 24 ENGLISH BRANT N. or E. Brantford East SHARP , HORACE 25 ONTARIO BRANT N. or E. Brantford East It appears that David Sharp, from America, lived on the opposite side of town from Theresa House. Possibly, David Sharp was the father of Theodore Sharp, Sr., if there was an American connection. Remembering that Theodore Sharp, Sr. both married and mustered in Michigan, a check for him in Michigan, and possibly Pennsylvania, is desirable. IGI (LDS database) shows the following: David SHARP Sex: M Event(s): Birth: Abt. 1806 Of, Pennsylvania In checking for HOUSE from the USA in the 1871 Census, I find the following: HOUSE , ELIZABETH 80 US NORFOLK SOUTH Houghton HOUSE , HERMAN 70 UNITED STATES LINCOLN Grimsby HOUSE , GEORGE 98 UNITED STATES LINCOLN Clinton HOUSE , DANIEL 57 U STATES WENTWORTH SOUTH Ancaster HOUSE , AURORA 78 UNITED STATES TORONTO WEST St. Andrew's Ward HOUSE , FRANKLIN 47 UNITED STATES NORTHUMBERLAND WEST Cobourg Town In checking SHARP from the USA, I find the following: SHARP , ISIAH 74 UNITED STATES MIDDLESEX EAST Dorchester Nort SHARP , DAVID 71 AMERICA BRANT N. or E.

However, I do find a relationship for place between the following persons: SHARP , DAVID 71 AMERICA BRANT N. or E. Brantford East HOUSE , THERESA 24 ONTARIO BRANT S. or W. Brantford Town That is, both lived in Brantford, one in the eastern part and the other in the western part. Both lived in Brant, one in the northern part, and one in the southern part. (It is as if they lived on "opposite sides of the tracks.") Hannah E. House had 4 children prior to her marriage with Theodore Sharp, Sr. I am running a check on all the Nettie names in the 1871 Census. Their names were, as follows: Nettie (born c. 1869?): ROULEAU , NETTIE 30 ENGLAND ESSEX Windsor Town SIMPSON , NETTIE 5 U. STATES LAMBTON Bosanquet Scotch origin, Methodist. Individual bears a different surname than the head of the family. BUTLER , NETTIE 21 ONT NORFOLK NORTH Simcoe Town FRASER , NETTIE 23 SCOTLAND BRANT N. or E. Paris Town FINCH , NETTIE 5 ONTARIO HALDIMAND Walpole MCKRACKEN , NETTIE 16 ONTARIO MONCK Wainfleet CLARKE , NETTIE 34 QUE SIMCOE SOUTH Gwillimbury Wes HAMMOND , NETTIE 32 UNITED STATES TORONTO WEST St. Andrew's Ward English origin, Anglican. NEESON , NETTIE 18 ONTARIO TORONTO EAST St. James' Ward RAYNOR , NETTIE 14 ONTARIO PRINCE EDWARD Hillier Both individuals bears a different surname than the head of the family. However, the former one is very close to our criteria for Nettie Moses, Hannah E. House's first group of children in Pennsylvania. Elizabeth (born c. 1889?): Stray: Individual bears a different surname than the head of the family Sex: Female Age: 8 Birthplace: ONTARIO Religion: Episcopal Methodist/Methodist Episcopal Origin: INDIAN District: BRANT S. or W. ( 015 ) Sub-district: Tuscarora ( E ) Division: 1 Page: 10 Microfilm reel: C-9915 Reference: RG31 — Statistics Canada Doubtful! Lija (born c. 1862?): MANN , ELIJA 79 U STATES ELGIN WEST Southwold PALMER , ELIJA F 38 U STATES MONCK Wainfleet BARNES , ELIJA 71 UNITED STATES YORK EAST Markham MEAKER , ELIJA 45 UNITED STATES ONTARIO SOUTH Whitby Town Doubtful! Theressa (born c. 1847): (We know about her.) CONCLUSION: The most likely child of Hannah E. House is Theresa. And, it appears that there may be a family connection between Theresa and David Sharp. That is, David Sharp may be the father of Theodore Sharp, Sr., who married Hannah E. House. Perhaps you can determine other relationships that I have missed, or do not know about. .H.
