Thanks Malyon
Love the pup

sorry I deleted the post as it might not have been your stewart I found a stewart h born in 1920 in Birmingham area so that marriage could be that stewart

Marriage posted by Malyon probably goes with the Q3 1920 birth of Stewart H Sharpe Aston, Warwickshire and the death of Stewart Henry Sharpe 1997 in Birmingham said to be born August 1920

Thanks. Probably not mine then.

There are quite a lot of births in the same area with name Sharpe that may be siblings, but I would put my money on this one being a sibling:-

Thanks Catherine. Certainly the Hamilton name connection looks promising.
I wonder if he could be his father ? He would be 18 at time of birth which may not be too young in those times.
Wonder about Stewart's mother and possibility of other siblings ?

Ooooh Malyon that's interesting.
Is that a marriage IN Egypt in 1944 ? Strange. Does it give a regiment ?

irish 1911

Not same area but this one is also Hamilton ????

Re the Samuel Hamilton Sharpe birth posted by Catherine above- There maybe a family connection but it's unlikely this was Stewart's brother.

Samuel's parents were Robert Sharpe and Maggie Hamilton of Clougher- this is them in 1911- note Maggie's age- unlikely she had Stewart 10 years later:

Residents of a house 7 in Clogher, North (Bushmills, Antrim)

Sharpe Robert 44 Male Head of Family Presbyterian
Sharpe Margaret 47 Female Wife Presbyterian
Sharpe Robert John 19 Male Son Presbyterian
Sharpe Margaret 14 Female Daughter Presbyterian
Sharpe Archie 11 Male Son Presbyterian

Article confirming marriage:

New Earswick, York, married Mile. Gllda Sacco, a Maltese girl, who is a Naafi clerk. All these were married Cairo,

After finding William Hamilton Sharpe I had started to think that I may have lost my wager.
Nice find AustinQ.

Thank you so much Austin Q
So much info . I have only just got back online after last night and am about to process it all.
I did wonder if the 7yr old Samuel could be Stewart's father. He would only be 17/18 when Stewart was born in 1921 but a possibility ???
I originally found Stewart H Sharpe b.1921 on Familysearch.org.
As you probably know the mothers maiden name is usually displayed but it wasn't.
I wonder if that's anything to do with it being an Irish birth ?
I am mostly interested in him after his marriage and therefore the children he may have had (probably in Sheffield area) and his death.
Many regards
Sue

Hello Susan
I only see a possible son born to the marriage in Halifax 1947. There could me more children born outside of England and Wales.

Can I ask how you know he was in Sheffield?

I did wonder if he returned to Ireland. I'm struggling at the moment as I don't have FMP subscription at the moment- however, there is an Edith Helen Sharpe listed living in Larne on the 2006 electoral register, and the following death to match the qtr of her birrth:

Name: Mrs Edith Sharpe
Gender: Female
Age: 97
Birth Date: 4 Sep 1918
Death Date: 26 Nov 2015
Residence Place at Death: Larne, Antrim, Northern Ireland
Postal Code District: Bt40
-------------------------------------------------

We know he was working as a catering manager for a steel firm in Sheffield around 1953.
I wonder why Edith died in Antrim when she was from Halifax ?
Strange when Stewart H was from Ballymoney !
Thanks

You'll probably have to buy a copy of his birth cert to find out his parents' names.

Born in 1921, he could still be alive.

Edith's death cert would tell you if he was alive in 2015, at least.

Thanks Gran.
I must admit I realised it was possible he might still be alive.
There seems to be a lot of Sharpes in Antrim so although this death seems to match it may not be her.
I really need to find the name of Edith and Stewart's child .....
