J. A. SHARP, ESQ.
The late John Andrew Sharp, Esq., solicitor, of Gray's Inn, who died very suddenly, from heart disease, at 62, Thornhill-square, on the 29th Oct., in the 51st year of his age, was the eldest son of the late Mr. William Henry Sharp, silversmith, of London. He was born in London in the year 1823, and having been educated at a good private school, he was, at about the age of 16, articled in a solicitor's office in the city, and by his own perseverance and study, joined to very great integrity of character, he was at length placed in the position he was destined to attain, having no assistance or influence whatever. He was admitted into the profession in Hilary Term 1862, and was for some time partner with Mr. Ullithorne, at his chambers in Field-court, Gray's Inn. The deceased gentleman was highly respected by all who knew him, and his death is greatly deplored by a large circle of friends. He married, in 1864, Helen Elizabeth Mary, daughter of Thomas Turner Pearson, Esq., solicitor, of Crowle, Lincolnshire, by whom, who died in June 1866, he had issue one daughter, Grace, who died in infancy. His remains were interred at Whitchurch, Little Stainmore, Middlesex.
