Good evening,
Is there anybody who can please help me locate a birth record? The details I have are Bert Sharpe born 13 August 1891 in St Johns Newfoundland Canada, mother Margaret Sharpe (I have got this information from WW1 army records, I sent for the full set). I have previously had some information on this person many years ago on these boards but have still not been able to locate a birth record.
Many thanks Brads

No need to start a new topic- have a read through some of your old ones (you can always add to an existing thread).
Advice about Newfoundland records etc. were posted here for you back in 2011-

Here is a link to the main website for Newfoundland records. It is free to use. I think you will be looking for a baptism in the time you are looking at.

Added: Service Newfoundland (link below) indicates births prior to 1892 can be accessed through the archives, which is the first link above.
