I am Robin Edward Sharman (born 12.7.1954 in Nottingham, England) and my interests include the genealogy and history of my family. Our Sharman genealogy has been traced back for over 400 years mostly in the Rutland and west Lincolnshire areas. More recently we moved into Nottinghamshire, and despite some shuttling between Notts. and Lincs. we ended up in Robin Hood's county. For some time I have been working on the story of my branch of the Sharman Family over the last hundred years. It is based on my research with help from my late father, Henry Sharman (junior), my late Aunt Frances and a number of other relatives. I have tried to include a number of anecdotes to give the story some life and to emphasise that it is a tale about real people.

This page is an edited extract from the second edition of my Sharman Family History, which is a work in progress - generally very slow progress! It covers my line of Sharmans from Richard who died in 1554 to me and my family in the present day. Naturally as our story progresses through time the information becomes more readily available, therefore some of the early stuff is less detailed. The first edition was printed in 2002, and it sold out quickly. Immediately I began working on the second edition, which will be more comprehensive. As a project like this is never-ending, I do not know when it will be printed.
 
 

Part Two : The Family of Thomas Hoyles Sharman
(click here for Part One)

Thomas Hoyles Sharman was born and brought up at Norwood Farm near Swinstead (in south Lincolnshire), the next village to Grimsthorpe, which was also owned by the Earl of Ancaster. The Sharmans were tenant farmers rather than direct employees of the Ancaster Estate. Thomas's parents were Thomas Sharman and Jane (née Hoyles). Thomas was born on 6th December 1862 and christened at Swinstead on 4th January 1863. Thomas Hoyles Sharman's education included some time spent at the Charles Read Grammar School in Corby, now known as Corby Glen. As a young man, Thomas Hoyles Sharman followed his father as the occupant of Norwood Farm which, although to the north of the Grimsthorpe to Corby road, is actually in Swinstead parish.

Thomas Hoyles Sharman married Hannah Ann Mettam at Edenham on 22nd January 1884. At the time Hannah Ann already had one child, and a second was well on the way as we shall see below. The Edenham marriage register entry gives Thomas's age as twenty-one years and Hannah's as nineteen years. Both of them signed with very good signatures.

Hannah Ann Mettam was born at Great Hale near Heckington (east of Sleaford) in March 1864. She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Mettam, who had at least two older children - James and William Thomas. John was a farmer, the son of John Mettam (born at Deeping St. James in about 1797/8) and Ann (born in Great Hale in about 1803/4). Ann Mettam, Hannah Ann's grandmother seems to have been born Ann Barrowcliffe (spelt variously with and without the 'e'), daughter of James and Mary, who was christened at Great Hale on 13th May 1803. Certainly it was a widow Ann Mettam, daughter of farmer James Barrowcliffe, who gave her age as sixty years when she married shepherd James Brown (age given as thirty-eight years) at Edenham on 20th June 1867.

Hannah Ann's mother is thought to have died about three days after the birth. She was thirty-two years old when she died, and was buried at Hale Magna (Great Hale) on 1st April 1864. Family legend told that the child was brought up by her grandparents who lived in a cottage near Abbey Bridge in Grimsthorpe Park. It was said that Hannah Ann’s grandfather worked for the Earl of Ancaster’s Grimsthorpe estate where his duties included tending sheep which had come down from Scotland (where the Ancasters also had land) on their way to the London markets. In the 1881 census a seventeen years old Annie Mettham (note the "h") is shown as living at Round House, Edenham as the niece of James Brown and his wife Ann. At this time James was a shepherd aged fifty and born in Scotland, and Ann gave her age as sixty-eight years and her birthplace as Great Hale. In this census young Annie Mettham's occupation is given as dressmaker, and her place of birth as Great Hale - in fact she is our Hannah Ann Mettam! So, although Hannah Ann was listed as the niece, she would have been the grand-daughter and step grand-daughter of Ann and James Brown respectively. It is interesting to note that Ann, the grandmother, was christened in 1803, claimed to be sixty in 1867 and sixty-eight in 1881!

Sometime around 1887 the Thomas Hoyles Sharman and his family vacated Norwood and moved to Blackspring Farm which lies just east of the Swayfield to Castle Bytham road. Thomas and Hannah had had ten of their thirteen children by the time they sold up at Blackspring Farm early in 1900. Their grandson Henry junior inherited the sale book dated 29th January 1900, although he was given to believe that many of the lots were sold privately rather than going through the sale itself. Thomas took a steam wagon with him and Henry remembered seeing it at Southwell some years later. This vehicle was a Foden compound with flat steel plate wheels and a wooden tipping body. The lorry was scrapped in the 1930s, but the body remained in use by Thomas's son Charles at Manor Farm in Halam for potato storage until well into the 1940s. When they left Blackspring Farm the family moved to a house at Woolsthorpe near Colsterworth said to be next to the one once occupied by Sir Isaac Newton. There Thomas operated two steam wagons hauling road-building materials driving one himself and employing a man to drive the other. However, this venture does not seem to have been successful.

They moved three times more – first to Alford in Lincolnshire, then to Woodborough in Nottinghamshire and finally to Southwell. The move to Alford may have been influenced by the presence there of Hoyles family members who were millers. Alford is near Mavis Enderby, which was the home village of Jane Hoyles, mother of Thomas Hoyles Sharman. Certainly Thomas seems to have been going through a hard time financially, and the support of and assistance from his mother's family would doubtless have been welcome.

We do not know what prompted the move into Nottinghamshire, but the offer of agricultural work at Pentelows' Rudsey Farm between Southwell and Bleasby brought the family to Southwell. At Rudsey Farm Thomas drove a traction engine on the back of which was mounted a Darby patent land digger (an early form of cultivator). At this time the family lived on Park Hill to the south of Southwell. When Thomas moved employment again to go and look after the steam engine which helped to power Caudwell's mill, the Sharmans moved into Westhorpe on the western edge of Southwell. They were certainly living in Westhorpe by 1910.

By 1907 Thomas Hoyles and Hannah Ann Sharman had had thirteen children. They were as follows:

 Elizabeth b. 1883 Swinstead m. John Marshall Grummitt d. 1965 Bourne
 Thomas b. 1884 Swinstead m. Mary Elizabeth Brown d. c1956 Nottingham
 Annie  b. 1886 Swinstead m. Robert Booth d. 1961 Australia
 Charles b. 1888 Counthorpe m. Hannah Holmes d. 1970 Halam
 Jane b. 1889 Counthorpe m. William Alfred Mills d. 1979 Australia
 William b. 1891 Counthorpe m. Kate Jepson d. 1976 West Tanfield
 Henry  b. 1893 Counthorpe m. Frances Cooling d. 1985 Newark
 John b. 1895 Counthorpe unmarried d. 1915 Loos, France
 Richard b. 1896 Counthorpe m. Hannah Mary Pitt  d. 1975 Hacconby
 James b. 1899 Counthorpe unmarried d. 1913 Southwell
 Ruth b. 1902 Alford m. John Bryan d. 1999 Wetherall
 Mary b. 1904 Southwell unmarried d. 1923 Southwell
 George b. 1907 Southwell m. Kathleen Eliza Rogers d. 1958 Nottingham
 

Having produced all these children over a period of more than twenty years, Hannah Ann had become ill and she died on 20th October 1912 aged 48. She was buried at Holy Trinity parish church in Southwell on 23rd October 1912.

After Hannah Ann’s death Thomas employed a succession of housekeepers, who included a Mrs Kelly, a Mrs Ulyatt, and a woman from Sheffield named Sarah (surname unknown) who had three daughters, of whom the eldest was named Grace and the youngest Nellie. He is said to have been particularly fond of  Mrs Ulyatt but for some reason she moved out and set up home with her sister, Miss Suter. One of the housekeepers, it is said, spent his money too freely and would even sell items out of the house to people who came to the door. It seems that she disposed of a number of family heirlooms in this way. Thomas is said to have been more of a drinker than was probably good for him and his son Henry later claimed that this contributed greatly to his misfortune. Certainly Thomas had been forced to work for other people after the failure of the haulage venture and he did not become self-employed again until about 1927. His employment at Caudwell's mill (where his son William also worked) seems to have got Thomas back on an even keel, and in the years that he worked there he used his steam lorry to provide extra income.

Thomas became very friendly with and seemingly well thought of by the mill owners Charles and Edward Caudwell. It seems that they may have helped him to buy William Gibson's threshing tackle when it came up for sale. Mr Gibson of 123 Westgate, Southwell had died from infection after cutting his arm on one of the knives of his straw chopper. His widow sold the complete threshing set. It comprised a Marshall traction engine (built in Gainsborough), a Clayton and Shuttleworth threshing machine (known colloquially as a drum), a Hayes pattern elevator, a Clayton and Shuttleworth straw chopper and a Hornsby single-string straw tier. My father remembers his father (Henry Sharman senior) and grandfather (Thomas Hoyles Sharman) bringing the set out of the orchard which was behind 123 Westgate one Saturday afternoon. The exit from the orchard was just to the left of the house (as seen from the road) where the extension now stands.

The equipment was taken along Westgate, into Westhorpe and up to The Holme where Thomas lived. Thomas worked the threshing set at farms around the Southwell area in the late 1920s and through the 1930s. Sometime during this period he replaced the Marshall traction engine with one built by William Allchin of Northampton. The whole set usually travelled around as a four-vehicle road-train - the straw tier having to be fetched with a horse by a farmer who wanted it from wherever it had last been used. Sometimes, however, Thomas was known to attach this item to the rear of the others to make up a five-piece train, which was not exactly within the letter of the law! Whenever the tackle was travelling a man was meant to walk behind it holding one end of a length of twine, the other end of which was attached to the arm of whoever was driving the engine. This twine ran through eyelets fixed along the various items of machinery, and was pulled by the man at the back as a signal to the engine-man that another vehicle was wanting to overtake. Two picture albums of Southwell published in recent years contain photographs of Thomas threshing with his traction engines. From about 1930 he was helped by his son George who carried on the business after Thomas became ill.

Thomas's house at The Holme was on the edge of Westhorpe, and there he had two large garden areas and an orchard. Both Henry junior, my father and my aunt, Frances junior remembered walking with my grandfather to see him on Sunday mornings. Sometimes they would walk along the twitchel and across the field path, and other times they would go round by the road. Frances remembered seeing Thomas Hoyles Sharman's habit of drinking his tea out of a saucer if it was hot and his threshing tackle parked in his yard. Henry junior remembered that sometimes his grandfather would leave the tackle in the lane with the elevator under a plum tree. As a boy Henry would look in the elevator for fallen plums or even climb onto it to pick plums off the tree. Another grandchild Mary (the youngest of Thomas's children) remembered Thomas as having a bad temper because, when she went to stroke his dog during a visit to his house, he shouted and swore at her. As well as threshing, Thomas Hoyles Sharman kept up to about thirty bee-hives, and sold honey in pots. Once when Henry senior (my grandfather) was learning to ride a motorcycle in the orchard, the exhaust fumes went onto one of the hives and angered the bees so much that they came out and stung Henry junior who had been watching his father. Thomas also kept hens and ducks at The Holme, and he had a strawberry patch protected from the birds with an arrangement of old tin trays, which he could rattle using a length of string which ran to the house.

Thomas Hoyles Sharman died on 19th February 1940 aged 77, and on 22nd February he was buried with his wife in the churchyard at Holy Trinity in Southwell where the grave is marked by a headstone which remains in good condition.

The thirteen sons and daughters of Thomas Hoyles and Hannah Ann enjoyed varied lives, and became spread around the country and around the world.

Elizabeth ("Lizzie") was born at Edenham in mid to late 1882 or early 1883 - her age was given as 8 years in the 1891 census. She was christened at Edenham on 25th May 1884, and in the church register her mother is given as Hannah Ann Sharman (née Mettam) of Grimsthorpe though no mention is made of her father. After leaving school she worked in the agent's office at Grimsthorpe estate – in the 1901 census she is shown as aged 18 and living in Grimsthorpe with a farmer named Robert Bourn and his wife Eliza. Lizzie married John Marshall Grummitt from Bourne at Edenham. Her niece Vera still has a letter written to her by Elizabeth on 18th December 1930 from North Fen, Bourne in which she enclosed one pound as a present for Vera's 21st birthday. The letter refers to the fog and frost making life unpleasant in the fen and to the preparation of poultry for the Christmas markets. For many years Marshall and Elizabeth farmed at Grove House, Bourne Fen. Marshall Grummitt had a greengrocery shop in Melton Mowbray which was in part supplied from the farm near Bourne. Elizabeth and Marshall had three children - John, Frank and Alice (who became Mrs Myers). Elizabeth died in 1965 aged 81, and her funeral service was held at the Abbey church in Bourne.

Thomas was born at Edenham in the spring of 1884. He was christened at Edenham on 25th May 1884 - the same day as Elizabeth. Thomas had two club-feet. He had to wear specially-made shoes and worked in agriculture after leaving school. He married Mary Elizabeth Brown, who was about three years older than Thomas and had lived near Bleasby. Thomas and Mary's first four children were born in Southwell, but at the start of the First World War the family moved to Beeston (the other side of Nottingham) where four more children were born. This move came about because Thomas's disability made him ineligible for military service, and he went to work at Chilwell Ordnance Depot instead. He worked at Chilwell through the war, and on 1st July 1918 he was involved in the big explosion there which killed 134 people. He survived the explosion, but he was quite ill for some time afterwards. When the war was over Thomas went to work for John Boot at Lenton as a gardener. Later Thomas Sharman transferred to become an employee of the Boots company, and lived on their farm at Lenton. Thomas and Mary had eight children - four born at Southwell and four born after their move across Nottingham. They were Thomas, George, Annie, Harold, John, Alice, Charles and Mary. Mary Elizabeth Sharman (née Brown) died in about 1953 aged about 72 years. She had a stroke and died two days later. She had been doing jobs such as butter-making right up to that time. Thomas lived almost four years longer. One morning he had been found collapsed in the cowshed, and he was admitted to hospital with a blood disorder. A few days later he died in hospital of a heart attack shortly after being visited by his son George, who had travelled from Stanmore to see him. Thomas and Mary Elizabeth Sharman are buried in Beeston cemetery with their son John.

Annie was born in 1886. In 1912 she emigrated to Australia and subsequently married Robert Booth at St. Chads in Cremorne, New South Wales. She was known as "Nance" and her daughter Agnes, who became Mrs Bull, was known as "Nessie". Annie died at Wahroonga, New South Wales on 6th January 1961. 

Charles was the first of the family to have been born after the move to Blackspring Farm, Counthorpe. His date of birth was 3rd March 1888, and so he was just about twenty-one years old when in March 1909 he married Hannah Holmes at Halam, a village next to Southwell which features repeatedly in our history. Charles and Hannah had three children - one son John (also known as Jack), who died aged thirteen years, and two daughters, Vera and Barbara. For many years Charles farmed Manor Farm at Halam. Hannah died on 3rd August 1969 and Charles died on 3rd August 1970.

Jane was born on 16th November 1889 and emigrated to Australia in 1912 with her sister Annie. She married William Alfred Mills at Hurstville, New South Wales on 16th January 1916. They had three children: Jack Leslie born on 13th March 1917 who married Beryl Herterick (born on 17th March 1925) at Murgon in Queensland on 21st May 1946, Alfred William born on 2nd October 1918 who married Thelma Mary Lax (born on 15th October 1924) at Ascot Vale in Victoria on 27th October 1945, and Jean Elizabeth born on 10th June 1934 who remained unmarried. Jane's husband William died on 13th February 1967 over twelve years before her own death in the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Parkville (a suburb of Melbourne) on 2nd August 1979. 

William worked at Caudwell's mill in Southwell, where he married Kate Jepson before moving to Yorkshire. In the late 1940s he became  foreman of Hammond's flourmill at West Tanfield. He and Kate had three sons - Jack, who died in 1994 and whose own son Michael has a fruit shop in Masham, William (Bill) who died on 7th November 1997 and whose own son Gordon still lives in Thirsk, and Ronald who died in infancy. William senior died on 8th March 1976 and is buried at West Tanfield.

Henry was my grandfather, and he was born at Blackspring Farm, Counthorpe in south Lincolnshire on 12th March 1893. Amongst his earliest memories were being taken to see the aftermath of the Little Bytham train crash of 7th March 1896, and the celebrations held in Creeton for Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee in 1897. Henry spent most of his working life with steam engines. He drove road locomotives for the army in the first world war and after that he worked steam ploughing engines. Having moved a number of times he settled in Southwell with his wife Frances (née Cooling) and they had three children - Ernest (born 1913), Frances (born 19.11.1915) and my father Henry (born 8.10.1922). Henry senior drove a steam  lorry and then a steam roller before steam was phased out and he had to transfer to a diesel-powered one. He retired in 1958 and died on 16th November 1985.

John served in the 1st/8th Battalion of the Sherwood Foresters (Notts. and Derby Regiment) as a Private and then Corporal number 1245 in the First World War.

This photograph shows John Sharman standing outside Drury's shop in Southwell (now Mills newsagents) prior to setting off for France in 1915. In the 1996 book covering Southwell in the series "Britain in old photographs" is a picture of the Southwell Company of the 8th Sherwood Foresters on the platform at Southwell railway station ready for departure in February 1915. John was one of this group, and I wonder whether any of our other relatives are in the crowd of families and friends waiting to see them off on the opposite platform. He is mentioned by name in "The History of 1/8th Battalion Sherwood Foresters 1914-1919" by Captain W.C.C. Weetman (published by Thomas Forman and sons in 1920). Included in the narrative for 15th June 1915 is the reference:
"Pvte. J. Sharman of B Company, who was practically the only man left in the trench when the enemy tried to occupy it, shot one and drove off another, both of them having attacked him at the same time. He was hit in the leg by a dud bomb, and got a bullet through his haversack."
Around August 1915 John Sharman was awarded the Russian Medal of St. George 4th Class by the Czar for conspicuous bravery in the field.
In chapter four of Weetman's book the events at Hohenzollern Redoubt from 1st October to 17th October are related. He wrote:
"October 14th seemed a never-ending day for those in the Redoubt. Fortunately in a way, the lines were too close together for us to be shelled, but bombing went on almost uninterruptedly, and our casualties mounted rapidly."
John Sharman was one of those killed on Thursday, 14th October 1915 at Hohenzollern Redoubt although he has no known grave. He is commemorated on the memorial at Loos, Pas de Calais in France as well as on the memorials in the Minster and Holy Trinity church in Southwell. Loos was where the British had first tried to use gas as a weapon of war earlier in 1915, and it cost the British army over 43000 casualties. The Germans called it the Leichenfeld von Loos - the corpsefield of Loos. Vast numbers of the dead are buried at Loos Dud Corner Cemetery although there was so little to identify many of the bodies that they were buried in graves marked simply "a soldier of the great war". The Loos memorial forms the side and back of the cemetery and commemorates over 20,000 lives lost in the area in that war. It is about one kilometre west of Loos village on the N43 road between Lens and Bethune. Near the end of the relevant chapter Weetman states: "Thus ended the more or less fruitless battle of Hohenzollern Redoubt. Though we held a portion of the Redoubt as a result of the fighting, it was of no tactical value, and indeed later on it was evacuated or blown up."

Richard (who we knew as Uncle Dick) was born at Counthorpe on 6th December 1896. In the years preceding World War One he worked for Merryweathers of Southwell learning to be a nurseryman and rose-grower. Whilst in the army in the war he was wounded, and as he lay on the ground a Turk came to finish him off with a bayonet. Apparently he pointed to his pocket, and his would-be killer took Dick's wallet and ran off. At least the family was spared another "Great War" fatality. After the war Richard and his wife Hannah Mary (née Pitt) set up a rose nursery at Toft Lodge between Toft and Bourne in south Lincolnshire on land which lay over the only tunnel on the now-extinct Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway. Richard also did agricultural contracting, and for a time his younger brother George went to drive tractors for him before returning to Southwell. At the same time Richard acted as an agent for Fenton and Townsend of Bourne who sold agricultural implements. He was very fond of shooting and ran a car for as long as anyone can remember. One of his cars was a Clyno - a quite rare make produced in Wolverhampton only between 1922 and 1929. Mary also drove at a time when very few women did so. In the early 1940s Richard, Mary and their family moved to Haakon House at the Hacconby crossroads north of Bourne. There they ran a rose growing business for the rest of their lives. The family consisted of four children - Edward (whose Wellington bomber was lost without trace on 12th February 1942) , Robert, Mary and Betty.
After the Second World War Richard dealt in army surplus items and his nephew (my father) Henry would go to Brotherton Park in Yorkshire to fetch ex-army trailers for him. Henry brought these back to Lincolnshire in pairs (one on top of the other) using a converted army scout car as a road tractor. This must have been a strange sight! Whilst on one of these trips Henry remembered calling to see his Uncle Bill (Richard's older brother) at Knottingley. Richard also bought army-surplus items for his own use. He would buy an enormous ex-forces Humber car for which no-one could afford the petrol. Having removed the petrol engine, he replaced it with a diesel engine built by Perkins of Peterborough which was kept immaculately clean. The diesel engine was far more economical than a petrol one, and made such a car a far more viable proposition. When the car was in need of replacement, Richard would go to Ruddington sales, buy another one, and transfer the diesel engine into it. I don't know how many cars that same engine powered! Perhaps Dick and Mary's most endearing character to us as boys was their habit of bringing out a large tin of Nutalls Mintoes whenever we visited. Mary died on 2nd August 1974 aged 77 years, and Richard died the following year. Both are buried in Hacconby churchyard, and their grave is marked by a headstone.

James was born in 1899 at Counthorpe. His life was the shortest of any of his family. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 14 on 31st August 1913 – less than a year after his mother. He  was buried on 3rd September 1913 at Southwell’s Holy Trinity church.

Ruth was born in 1902 while the family were living at Alford. During the First World War she lived near Bourne with Lizzie, her eldest sister. It was there that Ruth met her future husband John Bryan (born 1896), who was billeted in that area with the army. They married at Bourne, but after his demobilisation they moved to Scotby near Carlisle, from where John had originated. Ruth and John had two children - Trevor (who was killed after his Wellington bomber crashed in Kent on 9th September 1942) and Margaret (who became Mrs Williams and still lives in Leeds). John Bryan worked at Scotby as a hospital gardener. When he retired, he and Ruth moved to nearby Wetherall. On his death in 1959 John was buried at Scotby. Ruth enjoyed an active life well through to her late nineties, but on 13th September 1999 she died having been found collapsed at her home in Wetherall. She was buried at Scotby five days later.

Mary was born in Southwell on 31st October 1904, and was known in the family as “Polly”. She was still only 7 years old when her mother died – her eighth birthday was eleven days after Hannah Ann’s death and eight days after her burial. Mary was not baptised until 14th March 1918, and she was confirmed on 13th May 1920. As she got older and her siblings left home Mary would have borne increasing responsibility for family matters. Family legend has it that she tried hard to keep the family together in the absence of her mother, and that one day she thought the weather good enough to wash the blankets and hang them out to dry. The story goes that she considered them dry enough to put back on the beds that night. Apparently as the blankets had not been aired properly, Mary caught a chill and developed tuberculosis. She spent some time at a sanatorium at Rainworth, but died at home in Westhorpe on 9th December 1923 aged 19 years. Her death certificate states that her cause of death was Pulmonary Tuberculosis, and that she had suffered from it for 2 years and 3 months. She was buried at Holy Trinity church on 12th December 1923.

George was born in Southwell on 9th April 1907. He was baptised the same day as his sister Mary - 14th March 1918. As stated earlier George moved to near Bourne in south Lincolnshire to drive tractors for his older brother Richard. He would still have been in his teens when he did this. Sometime after his father bought the threshing set, George returned to Southwell to help with it. He also did other jobs such as shearing, hedge-laying, sawing and haulage (possibly using Thomas's steam lorry) as well as painting up the machinery when work was slack. When Thomas Hoyles Sharman died in 1940, George's brothers and sisters agreed that he should inherit the threshing tackle as he had carried on the business when his father was ill. In November 1932 he had married Kathleen Eliza Rogers in Southwell. She was known as Kit. After they married George and Kit lived in Edingley before moving to Halam. After his father died, George Sharman continued the threshing business until 1947 when he took over New Holbeck Farm between Halam and Oxton. George farmed there until he died in Hospital in Nottingham on 2nd September 1958 aged 51 years. Kathleen outlived him for a further thirty years as she died on 29th August 1988 aged 76. Both are buried at Halam.
