OK here goes with a couple that have stumped me and i have posted one of these before, but you never know
Looking for imfomation on Walter James Sharman B1884 Tendring Essex, Married to Blanche Rossetter[rosetter/rossiter]B1882 Lancing Sussex married on Nov 3rd 1909 at Aldrington Sussex.
info on the marriage cert is ;-
Blanche Rossetter 25 spinster address 10 Kendal Rd father John Rossetter gardener.
Walter James Sharman 24 bachelor Sailor 128 Wordsworth Street father Henry Sharman (dec'd) Sailor.
Having trouble finding Walter or his family . word from my mum says that Walter was a cox on the Shoreham lifeboat , but i have been unable to substansiate that.
No only the marraige cert , i cant find his birth i only have him on the 1901 census at Ancestry which states birthplace as Brightlingsea Essex 1885 APPROX.
Sadly being out of work i cant afford to spend on many certs at present.
I've found him with his wife on the 1911 census
Walter James Sharman yob 1884, at Brighlingsea Essex. He is living at 15 church road, Portslade-by-sea Sussex. Married for one year to Blance born 1885 in Lancing which all ties in with the information you gave. Because of this I've found him on the 1901 census but he is on his own as boarder. So back to look for his family now email me and I will send you the census.
There is a entry in the 1891 census recorded as Walter Coppin born 1884 in Brightlingsea.
If you check the image it should actually be for a Walter Sharman - Coppin is the family listed above!
I've found Blanche on the 1891 census with her family also the 1901 but she is working as a servant so away from home
1891 Class: RG12; Piece: 823; Folio 140; Page 25
1901 Class: RG13; Piece: 959; Folio: 98; Page: 44

Marriages Dec 1867
CANTALL Matilda Victoria
MASKELL George ROSE Louisa
SHERMAN Henry
Lexden 4a 618
The date of 1867 fits in well with the children listed on the 1871 census, and the registration district for Brightlingsea at that time was Lexden.
(In 1880 the registration district changed to Tendring)
Edit: This fits well with one of the children's names on the 1871 census - Albert Rose ..
If the census details are correct. There is a freeBMD reference for a
Henry Sherman (see 1881 census) and a Louisa Rose marriage Mar 1967, Lexden Essex. I wonder if this is a possible match
When I was searching for Walter in census, I did come across some Sharman's from Fingringhoe, Essex. Having relations from there myself I know that this comes under Lexdon district.
PS Elaine beat me to it.
