Since there is agood chance both of these parties are still alive, you should reduce their first names to initials only, as per RootsChat policy.

Marriages and deaths will be protected by privacy laws. Marriages are currently available up to about 1928 and deaths to about 1938 or 9. You would need to look for info in newspaper announcements and such for the time period you are looking for.

Should they still be living you may find them through this link. Put name plus just Ontario for the location to start with.

The Canada GenWeb Cemetery Project has some matches for this family. Here's a link to the Ontario search page:
http://cemetery.canadagenweb.org/ON/

Here is a link to the image of the grave marker of Samuel H. Sharpe and his wife Margaret H. Graham at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Middlesex County, Ontario:

Also listed on the grave marker is Sandy Sharpe.

There is also an image of the grave marker for Stewart D. Sharpe and Robert H. Sharpe in Farringdon Cemetery in Brant County, Ontario:

There are a number of people named Sharpe listed if you search that surname at the link provided.

As polarbear mentioned marriages from the time period you are seeking are protected by privacy laws. I would also question whether Stewart and Robert married since they are listed together on the grave marker.

The Brantford Public Library has an online database with BMD information from the local newspaper:
(http://brantford.library.on.ca/localhistory/bmd/search-the-bmd/)
There are two entries for Stewart's death dated 24 and 26 Jun 1972. I didn't see any entries for Robert.

Thank you Jacquie
It does seem strange the only reason I believe one of them at least married is that in the obitiary for their father Samuel Hamilton Sharpe it says
"dear Father of Robert H of London, Stewart D of Burlington, and Miss Alexandra H Sharpe at home Four Grandchildren also survive"
I know that Alexandra never married or had children
