Hello, Ann.....A really good research tool for you to try would be the on-line version of the International Genealogical Index (IGI). The search page is: http://www.familysearch.org/Search/searchigi.asp I went there and filled in the forms as "Francis Sharp", requested the birth/christening, for "British Isles" and "England". I set the date at 1767, since you have this, but I added the "year range" as + or - 5 years. Dates of birth that you get from the census are sometimes not too exact. I find it best to add in a range of years to search, just in case your date is off by a year or two. If you fill out the search form as I did, and click on "search" you will see, as I did , that there are several "Francis Sharps" listed born within that range of years for England. However, I think you'll find your fellow born in London....look and see what you think. I'd bet on #9. I am just making a guess, that if your fellow was married in London, he'd likely have been born there. (Of course, I could be wrong. Young men born in the countryside did go to the big city to seek their fortunes! ) If you click on his name, you can see the names of his parents, and discover the exact code number for the film (source code) of that parish register. If you'd like to see the exact entry for this christening, you order that film at any Mormon Family History Library, and they will get it on loan for you. I hope this is of some help to you. If you have problems using the website, re-post and I (or someone else) will try to help out. Good luck...........
