John Sharpe, born 1895
« on: Wednesday 25 August 21 17:04 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a distant cousin, John Sharpe, born 14 November 1895, Closeburn, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.  I have found a John Sharpe with the same date of birth in the 1939 Register.  The address is 74 Whitworth Road, Gosport.  His occupation is given as general labourer, R N A D. 

He is marked down as being married and the line under his details are blacked out, so I assume this is a child.

His brother, Alexander Sharpe, was serving in the Royal Navy.  In 1939, he was residing at 105 Whitworth Road, with his wife and family.
At present I have no other info on John.
Thanks

Exactly what kind of info are you looking for?  Have you looked for a death for him?

I had a look around the Gosport area, hoping he hadn't moved, but nothing obvious.  Just wondered if there may be records because he was working in the R N A D.  One problem is he had no middle names that would have helped.
His brother Alexander was married in 1920 at Portsea, but John is not mentioned on it.

It's unfortunate that his wife is not present on the 1939 entry.
