Pte. James Reuben Sharpe
British Army 4th Battalion Middlesex Regiment
from:Cromwell Road, New Southgate, Middlesex
(d.11th Jun 1916)
James Sharpe was my mother's cousin. He was the son of James Charles Sharpe and Emily Smith. As far as my research shows, he was the eldest of six children. James was born in 1896 in Winkfield Road, Wood Green, Middlesex, and baptised in the same year at Noel Park, Wood Green. The family were living in Friern Barnet at the time of the 1901 UK census and in New Southgate in 1911. James's birth was registered under the same General Record office reference as his cousin Percival Sharpe, who sadly died in 1912 aboard the liner Titanic.
