HI:My name is Terry Sharpe.The STurge's are not my direct relatives but my grandfather was Nelson Stokes and he had half brothers were were Aflred, Robert, Alsolom and Peter Sturge.Their father was James STurge who drowned in 1891.James was from Flower's Island.Alot of teh STurges in the Bonavista area are related to these Sturge's from Flower's Island.James STurge's wife was Sophia Wix Sturge and she was my grandfather Benjamin Stokes second wife and my grandfather's mother.I don't have a lot on this family but if they are related I do have some..Keep in mind that Salvation Army was not one of theoriginal religions in the early days.It came later.Many of you r relatives would have started out as Church of England or Methodist.HOpe this is helpful.Feel free to contact me if you like.Terry Sharpe.
