Help Needed please?

Hi J.J

I did explain when they signed up and where the marriage was and that was the information I got back.

I have had a message back for the other person doing the research and the only information they have is that Herbert went back to Canada in 1921/1923 and his wife would not go back with him.

So no luck down that path.  If he wanted her to go back with him then he must not of already been married in Canada.  I will have to keep trying to find some details.

But thank you for all your help.

Wish we could help more...a bit of grasping at straws with so little info...
Let us know if more information comes to light...and you never know when a door will open...
all the best! J.J.

another query for "Bert"

Hello.  Can anybody please help??

I have been researching this person for a long time but don't seem to be getting any further with my research.  I have got all the information that was given to me vis this message but I am still unable to confirm who Herbert was.  I will recap the information I have in the hope that somebody may be able to give me a fresh lead.

From a wedding certificate in England the marriage took place 11th July 1919:

Herbert Stanley Sharp, age 25, Bachelor, Farmer, living in London, father Alfred Sharp (deceased) Carpenter
I have been told that he was a Canadian soldier who was staying with a family in Staffordshire and he married one of the daughters. This marriage only lasted 2 years and Herbert returned to Canada without his English bride. None of this has been confirmed.

I have searched English receords for a Herbert Stanley Sharp(e) but have found no records whatsoever. I would be extremely grateful for any information that anybody could provide me with.

To continue from my last posting if possible I would like to try and find who the father was of Bert Sharpe b 13 Aug 1891 in Newfoundland possibly St John's.  I have his mother as Margaret ? His father was a carpenter.

Many thanks brads

  Wow, Brads, we've done some major hunting for you, and I wish I could say more has come to light, but I think we may have found the right person for you due to jorose's diligence in proving the witnesses at the time of the marriage were in the same military grouping as he...
Now it was also suggested that you order the military file, and since another is also searching, you could pool resources and do that as family information may well be in there! Certainly it is a good idea to keep reviving an old query, but make sure you've also done all your research as well....and then get back to us with the new info and we'll happily get back on it if we can...
  J.J.

p.s.    Thanks for not starting a new query for an existing subject!

Thank you again j.j. for your reply.  I was hoping that some more information may have come to light since the last postings.  I am not entirely sure that this is the right Herbert but I suppose you are right and the only way to confirm this is to send for the military record.

Your help has been very much appreciated.

Wow I sounded a little harsh the other day...sorry...It's certainly up to you whether or not it's worth your while to get the papers, and there's never a guarantee there will be enough personal information on it. Also, if he was the dastardly type, and he might just have been, if he left wife & child... he may have not been truthful & forthcoming on any documents which would cover his path... so all the hunting in the world may not prove anything...

But here is the site, as that url is outdated... and lots of luck that he's the right one should you decide to order it
