Pater Many Thanks.

There was a member of the SHARP family one year ahead of me at the Grammar School in Bourne in the late 60s/early 70s and my great aunt Dora LUESBY married William SHARP. If I remember great uncle Bill was owner or part owner of the Stamford Egg Company which he probably inherited from his father because in the 1911 Census William SHARP, middle name Traquair and aged 3, was living with his parents in The Austerby, Bourne - which is probably the house I remember from my youth. SHARP, William Hanson Head Married M 44 1867 Egg Merchant Dealer Lincs Dalby SHARP, Annie WifeMarried 11 yearsF441867 Assisting In The BusinessScotland Dumbarton Resident SHARP, Janet Goldie Daughter F 10 1901 At School Lincs Donington SHARP, William Traquair Son M 3 1908 Lincs Donington Great uncle Bill died in the 1980s. There was also another SHARP, if I recall correctly, who worked for a now-defunct company called Nursery Supplies in Bourne. I need to ask my mother to confirm this. I hope this is of some help to you.
