Hi Bryany and welcome to GR

Some names and dates would be good.

Prickles. ;o))

Researching:

I think that this Sharkey is in Bryany's tree;

Births Sep 1935
Sharkey Bryce M Welsh Carlisle 10b 799

But there are others whose births I cannot see on free bmd.

Added:
I can see some of the others (Sharkey/Welsh), but birth years are incorrect, possibly.

So need to establish which family, as asked previously.

Welcome to genesreunited, Bryany.

Free bmd has 3 Waite/Sharkey births showing, in Carlisle, from 1957 to 1960, and two of those are in your tree, but I cannot see a marriage for those parents.

If you look in Search/Search All Member Trees (top right) for anyone with surname Waite or Sharkey, born in Crewe or born in Carlisle, you will find more than 100 people in several member trees.

You can then try and contact those members for more information.
