I'm chasing up the children of Martin Holt and Mary Mainprize who married in Leven East Yorkshire in 1831.
They had five children bp at Withernwick, E Yorks, before Martin died in January 1841. His widow Mary was recorded in Withernwick in 1841 with four surviving children, plus Jane, a daughter from before the marriage.

I am trying to trace Ann Holt, bp Withernwick1834
In 1851 she was in Hornsea https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...6&pId=11070059
Then in 1854 she married at Hornsea, recorded as daughter of Martin Holt, labourer. The groom was Richard Sharp, a labourer, son of Richard Sharp. At the time of the marriage both parties were of Hornsea.
I was then on a roll and found Richard and Ann in census 1861 -1911 in the village of Patrington. When I went back and checked for finer details,however, I discovered that Ann Sharp consistently gave her place of birth as Outhwaite/Owthwaite (outside the town of Withernsea) about 15 miles from Withernwick and her date of birth was a couple of years after that of Ann Holt.
It didn't sit quite right so I went back to base and discovered another Richard Sharp marriage, 1860 at Patrington, to Ann Eliza Dearlove - Richard (son of Richard and a labourer ) was a widower and the Ann Eliza fitted with the bp entries for the Sharp children I'd found in the run of census returns. Ann Eliza Dearlove had been bp at Patrington in the relevant year. Obviously I'd had a near miss and had almost been barking up the wrong tree
However, I cannot find either a burial or a civil death registration to fit an 1854-1860 death of Ann Sharp. Neither can I find any trace of an appropriate AnnHolt/Hought/Sharp after the 1854 marriage.
Can anyone spot her, please? I just can't see for looking now, I've gone "record blind!"
Thanks for reading.

; the BT's for that period don't seem to have been filmed. That's reassured me that it's probably a transcription problem and I'm NOT completely losing my marbles.
They are fairly distant twigs on my tree (Ann's father Martin was the twin brother of my 3xgt grandmother, another Ann Holt) so I can't really justify buying a death cert.I will have to see if the record office has any additional info on Patrington registers as it would be nice to know where mother and daughter were buried..
