Have you tried looking for his birth?

I just checked freebmd

And these are the ONLY births for the name


Births Dec 1873 (>99%)
Sharples Charles Edward Chorley 8e 448

Births Dec 1891 (>99%)
SHARPLES Charles Edward Marylebone 1a 526

Charles died in Ypres, France in 1917.

Does anyone know when and where this man died?

Thanks Reggie

That's the same one that I found.

Family stories should be taken with a pinch of salt, unless they can be proved

You need documentary backup - preferably the cert of the marriage you KNOW to be correct.

Births Sep 1901 (>99%)
Brown Dorothy Phyllis Wandsworth 1d 822

Hi Reggie

Well the reason I know where he was born is because a relative told me but obviously they could be wrong. They did not know his year of birth though.

I was also informed that Dorothy was his child and I did say that I had found a possible marriage not a definite one.

Thank you anyway

Hi Andy

Thank you. Well that must be the Charles and Julia marriage that I found on Freebmd but as far as I know he only had the one child, Dorothy, when he married Mary,

Thank you so much though.

How can you possibly know where he was born - if you don't know when?

It doesn't add up

The Brown girl is unilkely to have been his if she was born 8 years before what you think is his marriage to her mother

Buying the 1917 marriage cert would be a good idea

Hi

Would someone be kind enough to do a look up for me on 1911 census? I am trying to find Charles Edward Sharples born in Mitcham, Surrey but I don't know what year.

He married Mary Ray in Wandsworth in 1917 but he had a child already - Dorothy Phyllis Brown. I have found a Dorothy Phyllis Brown on Freebmd born 1901 Wandsworth and I have found a possible marriage for him to Julia Jane Brown in 1909 but I have tried to find them on 1911 census but no luck.

Thank you.
