Marriage

While on a social visit to Yorkshire with a friend he met Elsie Spence and in early 1918 they were married. And even though Henry wouldn’t see the end of the war - dying on July 21, 1918 – his new wife was pregnant with Henry ‘Harry’ William Sharrock, who was born just six days after the signing of the Armistice.
