John Sharp c. 14/9/1802 Grindon/Redmarshall Co. Durham Emmigrated to USA in 1849. Left New York, USA and arrived Victoria, Australia in August 1853 aboard the Canton. The Passenger list only shows that only part of the family (in red) travelled with John. I am not sure if the rest of the family followed later. Wife: Edith Palmerly married July 1829 Bishop Middleham, Co Durham, children George Sharpe baptised 1831 Bishop Middleham Elizabeth Sharpe b. abt 1833 Mary Sharpe b. 1835. Robert Sharpe b. abt 1838 Somerset (Keynsham) Ezra Sharpe b 1845 Wolborough, Devon Catharine Sharpe b. 1847 Cadoxton juxta Neath,Wales Frederick Sharpe b 1849/50 USA If anyone is able to shed any light on what became of John, Ezra, Catharine and Mary I would be interested to hear from you. There was a marriage of an Ezra Sharpe to a Elizabeth Caroline Gorringe in 1878 at Balranald, but I do not know if it is our family. Thanks Roy Roy Gargan
