I am trying to find anything on my grandfather's (Charles Edgar Sharpin) family side, he was believed to have been born in Kensington, London brought up by an aunt (Lucy) in Wells, Norfolk and as far as we know adopted their family name of Sharpin. His daughter my mother (Joan Mary Readhead (nee Sharpin) doesn't know who his natural parents were. He worked on the London North Eastern Railway (later to become British Rail) from the age of 13 to retirement at age 65. Married my grandmother Beatrice Sharpin (nee Wilcock) from Laughton-en-le-morthen (Nr Rotherham) and moved to Ashby, Scunthorpe, Lincs shortly after marrying. Any help much appreciated.

Hi, my name is Julia Overton.
I think I maybe related to you through Beatrice Sharpin nee Wilcock.
I think I maybe her great niece through both Fred and Elizabeth Wilcock.
My parents were cousins and never married. Fred was my dads dad and Elizabeth was my mums mum. I'd love to know more about Beatrice, I am trying to find out what happened to the rest of the siblings. I know Mary Elizabeth And Samuel had several still borns and had 11 children altogether. But as a child I only knew the younger 3, fred, george, samuel jr. My grandma Elizabeth passed before I was born.
Thank you for your time reading this Julia Overton
