In 1851 Elizabeth Sharpe (age 26) lived at Main Street in Eye with her husband James (28, Butcher) and three children: Caroline (4), Emma (2), and James (4 months).^[4] Their other son, Charles (6, Scholar), was staying with James' parents John & Charlotte Sharp in Barnwell St Andrew, Northamptonshire.

In 1861 Elizabeth Sharp (age 36, Butcher Wife) lived at Main Street in Eye with her husband James (38, Butcher Master) and six children: Charles (16, Scholar), Caroline (14, Scholar), James (10, Scholar), Thomas (6, Scholar), Emma (3), and Joseph (2), as well as visitor Ann R Burlison (40, Joiners Wife).^[5]
