Saved from the dustbin, but where do I start?

Hi everyone,
I received a link to this tread via ancestry. Richard Leighton Sharp is the husband of my 2nd great aunt. I only have Richard down on my public tree but have the Sharp line handwritten. His sister-in-laws children (my great uncle, and aunts are still alive) if there’s anything I can help with please let me know.

Not sure if your able to make any of that out but can have a closer look when I get home after work. It matches the research you’ve all done.

 

Brilliant, you are making this look too easy. Many thanks.

 

Clare,

many thanks for getting in contact. I saw from an earlier post regarding the family tree that only one name had a photograph. I thought that I would post a photograph of each of the brothers so that they could be added to the family tree.

High Wood thank you so much! This thread has got me back into tracing the line again. Madge is their mother mother Margaret Isabel leighton who married Harold Sharp. There’s variations of the spelling of sharp/ sharpe throughout records honestly not 100% sure which is correctly but I believe it’s Sharp. It’s lovely to put faces to names.
