Hello ..
I followed the "George J." you mentioned and I'm sure he is the one mentioned in FreeBMd as deceased at the age of 28 in 1899.{ not positive though}
As for the marriage of Ruth in 1898 I'm sure she is the Ruth Elizabeth born in 1871 as I have followed that lead also.
I find it encouraging when you ask these questions as it might shed light on something I might have overlooked or send my mind into a different direction I never thought of.
I find that without a "marriage" it will be difficult to find the right "George" as there were so many of them and sometimes the "J" is missing in the records.

Hi Pennie;
I got the name "Prior" from the FreeBMD when I searched for the son's. As you can see from JeannieR's post earlier.
I assumed this because the names .. Reginald N. and Francis V. were known to me as well as the name Thomas.
Frederick W was born in Wallingford also in 1917.
George A {who is on the death certificate} I've traced to a George Arthur L born in Fulham in 1909.
I have searched that area also for any marriages of Ruth Prior or George Sharman and found none with my limited resources.
Do I have enough information to aquire a birth certificate for George A.  If not what else do I need?

Good Morning;
Thank you for the info Jeannie . I will send for the certificate and hope it is the right one ... maybe there will be some light shed on this .
What I didn't know was George A's death particulars ... how does someone get that?
The last I knew he was in Dorchester (Oxon .. I believe) of course it might have been Dorset.
The way the towns /villiages are really confuses me .. lol
I'm trying to find Mendip on a map right now ... or even Somerset.

Good Morning Pennie
Thank you for the map ... it's better than the one I was looking at. I found Mendip sandwiched in between North East Somerset and South Somerset. See what I mean by confusing .. one would think the Somerset's would be beside eachother .. lol
I sent for George A's birth certificate hoping it is the right one and will tell me more about George J. and Ruth Prior.I believe he is their first born and might shed a lot of light on the subject .
It will probably be a few weeks before I get that I surmise.

I received the certificate yesterday ... for George A. ... on it it says the father is George John and the mother is Ruth Prior ... so now another name change Joseph <--> John.
It says that George J's occupation is "Engineers Fitter".
Well at least it confirms George A is their child and they "might" have been married.
Will I ever unravel this ??

Hi (again) John ...
Now knowing George's occupation, I had a look for any George (J.) SHARMANs, unmarried and born 1890 or before, on the 1901 census. Of those which were old enough to have an occupation listed, these two could be possibles:
George SHARMAN, born c1867 in Stourbridge, Worcs. "Machinist Metal"
George A. SHARMAN, born c1885 in Litchfield (sic), Staffs. "Die Fitter Apprentice"
We really need to find George and Ruth's marriage ... !!!

Hi again
I thank you for all the assistance.
The certificate says: Ruth Sharman .. widow of George Joseph Sharman and that the informant was George A. Sharman . Registration District : Henley : County of Oxford. She died in 1952 at the age of 76 which would put her birth at 1876.
I have found "George J. Sharman" in a death record for Oct-Dec in 1948 in Wallingford so I am assuming it is him. The record say's age 69 so that puts his birth around 1879. I suppose if I obtained his death certificate I could validate this.
During my research using the Freebmd Index , Ancestry.com , Rootsweb and the LDS sites I noticed that when I do a search for "George Sharman" that they don't always return the same results? Some have more listings while others have less ? Is there a reason for this?
