George Sharpe

[LLPS]

Hello Barbra, this information is very interesting, I love to find these little gems, I often wonder if our ancestors’ ever entertained the thought that they have left behind a legacy such as this.

My email address is (*) , if you are able to share an email address with me I can send you information that I have and perhaps we can each fill in the family tree. As I mentioned before I do have a membership with Ansestory.com but I typically postpone my membership for the summer and pick it up again in the fall, I am looking forward to chatting with you some more.  Best Regards  Laurie Sharpe

If I have learned anything doing this research is that there are misspelled names, dates can be off by a few years, and not everything you read is accurate. 

FYI, this is what I found on the website:

Hi Laurie,      I am very happy to share an e-mail address with you - seems the best way to exchange info. as I have a few pages to copy.    You will no doubt realise that I am ancient but  quite active and seem to have maintained a few marbles.    This is the first time I have "spoken" on this machine and I have not joined Ancestry - my cousin who lived in Bexhill did the research I have through an agent before he died.  I find the history of the shipping quite interesting -Helier James was obviously my grandfather and your    Cheers, Barbara

Ancient! LOL I like you already, Let’s see, Me (Laurie Sharpe), my dad (Gerald Fredrick Sharpe) , his father/my grandfather (George Fredrick Sharpe) his mother/ my great grandmother (Hilda Gladys)  and her father/ my great great grandfather  was Helier James… does this sound accurate?  I’ll going to pull out some information that I have and perhaps we can piece together a bit of the puzzle.  My dad did receive information about the Sbire’s from the church in England sometime ago so I can send you that information if you would like.

I do find that once you start digging things get confusing,  there is so much information out there it’s hard to organize it in a chronological order, but it’s fun trying.

Hi Laurie,  Sounds good to me!!   I am just trying to work out how to proceed with this e-mail arrangement.    Unfortunately my information is all S'bire based but might fill in a gap or two.   It seems that the eldest sister Georgina May died in the influenza epidemic in 1920 - that leaves Louisa Harriet and Florence Larbalestier unaccounted for -   as you say, it all becomes a bit tricky but we'll see where it goes.     Barbara.

Hi Laurie,       I am having trouble with my email as I have changed my address - I hope you get this - I have tried to put things on PM but seems unsuccessful.  Will get it together soon I hope!!!!!!   All the best, Barbara

[BHSB]

Could you see if you receive my e-mail address as I can't seem to find yours!!!!   
I'm tryin g a different way of writing it - just substitute the (at) by the usual @ sign and send a reply direct to me.

Hi Laurie,    I seem to have "stuffed up" the system with my new address -   perhaps you have found more   info. your end.   Should I try and make another move or do you have everything you need from this end.   Best wishes,  Barbara.

George Sharpe was my Great Great Grandfather - his name was actually George Fleury Sharpe but for some reason on the census he was shown as George Frederick Sharpe. He lived at J. Lewis cottages, Warwick Street, Deptford. He was a railway signalman born in Kilmore, County Antrim, N. Ireland. He died in 1899. George was the son of Robert Sharpe - a Tanner also from Kilmore.
In 1860 he married, Margaret Dobson in Gateshead. Margaret was a butchers daughter from Bedlington in Cumbria.
They had 5 Children:
1 Joseph Sharpe born   1865 in South Shields
2 Mary Sharpe     born   1866 in Southwark London
3 George Sharpe  born November 21 1869 in Deptford ( my Great Grandfather)
4 Robert Sharpe  born 1873  Deptford
5 John Sharpe    born  1876   Deptford.
Margaret died and George remarried - Amelia Jane Saunders on May 9th 1892.

Hope this helps - my email is * should you wish to contact me.
