Suz, I guess any relation to the iron smith Sharples would go further back.  I'll save that information away. 
Meanwhile, your new information looks very interesting.  I have to go out for a while but will study it when I return.  Thank you so much for your help.

Rosie, Suz and Pam,
Thank you for your wonderful help yesterday. Everything you sent was interesting.

My next search will be Henry Sharples  and  his wife, Margaret Cowell both  born in 1823. Should I start a new topic for them?

I'm new, so I haven't figured out how to mark this topic completed.

Thank you to everyone who helped.

This lookup request is COMPLETED
