Irene Report 26 Aug 2012 02:23

Can some please help me find Francis A. Sharp born abt 1896 in Middlesex, London.
In the 1901 census England , Francis is with his grandmother Sarah Sharp in Polesworth, Warks and father's name is Thomas Sharp.

His mother is Florence Sharp and father is Jabez Whiting, birthplace as Wing, Buckinghamshiire.

I cannot find any trace of Francis since the 1901 census.

I know his parents made a quick excite to the USA, but have not found him either?

Thank you

Irene Cooper
