As mentioned, Herbert Percy SHARP died in 1974.

Archives show him as a hairdresser of Papatoetoe.

I can do a newspaper death notice look up for him as this may provide more information about his children.

Shebalee please let me know if you require this look up...........

Hi

Probate files at Archives New Zealand (Auckland office) for :

CHALLENOR - Eleanor Grace - Huntly - Married Woman -- 1979

and for her husband ...

CHALLENOR - Herbert James - Huntly - Retired Stationer -- 1996

These files might provide you with names of descendants ?

Hi shebalee

... or if you want to take a quicker route to locating descendants of Eleanor Grace, then try the telephone directories (whitepages).

Hi Lauren, and welcome to RootsChat  :)

I see that the original poster, Shebalee, hasn't been on the forum since 2014, so you may not get a response from them.

Thanks Alan for providing that advice. 8) :)
