Victor Emanuel Sharp

[eileenb]

Looking for Victor Emanuel Sharp on behalf of an elderly relative.

She knows he and his wife Sarah, once lived in Ogden Street, Castleton, Rochdale, Lancashire prior to their emigration to South Africa.  Unfortunately, she has no idea of the area in S.A. that they moved to.  From memory she thinks it may have been just before WW11 and they had 3 children at the time - including Lesley/Leslie and William. 

My friend has grave papers belonging to Victor's parents or grandparents and would like to pass them to any descendant of his family.

Hi Eileen,

I see Victor was a Junior, born 1908, and his father had the same name  - his mother was named Sarah.

Are you sure Jnr's wife was Sarah too? There is a marriage June Qtr 1936 in Rochdale of Victor E Sharpe to Ada Moores.

As any of their children could still be living, we aren't to name them in public on Rootschat  (we can share in a Private message).

Finding Victor in  the 1939 Register might give you some clues. Unfortunately, we're not permitted to look up and find it for you.

Cheers,
AMBLY
