Percy Sharpe
« on: Wednesday 30 March 22 16:21 BST (UK) »
Afternoon all,

I'm trying to confirm that a relative emigrated to Canada in 1923. I have a hint coming up on Ancestry for an Ocean Arrivals Form 30A that appears to match his details but I only have an Ancestry UK subscription so I can't see all the details. Would anyone be able to get me a copy of this one so I can try to confirm it's him?

If the link below doesn't work, details I can see for the document are:
Name   Percy Sharpe
Birth    abt 1899 Creastills York Eng
Arrival   10 Aug 1923 Quebec, Canada
Departure   1923 London, England

Many thanks in advance!

Also a Detroit Michigan border crossing - arriving 29 March 1930
Ties in with his arrival on the Melita in 1923.

Address on Canada Ocean Form 30 A agrees with the probate record for his father John in 1928

That's all brilliant, thank you so much! Also showed me that his dad married for a third time!
