Len I had heard a rumour that there was an older child in my mother's family. That could be the one that went to Birkenhead. I think Mary Chesworth was from Prescott. A son William Henry Sharpe emigrated to Canada but was gassed in the first world war and died in Kansas City around 1930 I think. He was in the Canadian army but I havent been able to get any information on him. Perhaps with so many name changes and his parents not being married he was listed under another name. How complicated it all is. Thanks for your help. Marg
