Hello Mr.Cornwell

I am a huuuuge fan of yours-thank you for years of enjoyment! Have just seen the quest for Sharpe’s father and although I haven’t seen many replies-impossible to check!! I would like to throw my guess in the ring.

Based on the later information that his mother was buried in Yorkshire etc..and not always a London prostitute, was it Lord Rossendale senior?? Rossendale is in Lancashire-fairly close for a jog across the Pennines- and if it was the old scoundrel, then of course, Sharpie would be uncle to horrible Jane’s baby which was already conceived by Waterloo.And what a nasty mess that would be!
