George Owen Sharman

if we're looking at teh right one (born 1883) he was born in Keymer Sussex according to 1901

he probably attended Varndeans Boys School in Brighton and Hove district

http://www.oldvarndeanians.org.uk/vboys/yearlists/y1895.html

in the class of 1906 were two other Sharman's - Cyril L and William N - I think this this is too early for them to be the half siblings of Peter tho

[samesizedfeet]

Have found someone who is related to Sharmans from Keymer area of Sussex so I have contacted him to see if there is a connection or he can shed light on the search

there is a Sharman genealogy page here:

Thought I'd first check the facts in the BBC article before seeing where they would lead.

Births September Quarter 1919
ROBINSON, , Axbridge, 5c 588.  Mother's maiden name: Gerard

- He had a middle initial - very useful with such a common surname.

Marriages

No marriages of a J ROBINSON (with or without middle initial V) to HALL in either 1940, 1941 or 1942 (The BBC article said he married Ethel M Hall 4 years after joing up in 1937).  However......

Mariages Ref: **** Quarter 1941

ROBINSON, J V, 
HALES,

Off to look for births for ROBINSON with mother's maiden name HALES in 1941 - 1943.

p.s. I've just edited this post as some of the information is likely to be about someone still alive and to post in full would be an invasion of their privacy.

Good idea, Alcrighton, by the way where are you getting the information from?

There are probably others.

With regard to Peter Siegfried Sharman - I have been researching a Sharman line from Derbyshire but have no link to a Peter Siegfried Sharman.

I do know another person who has links to Derbyshire Sharmans - I will email her and see if she has a connection.
