Argentina:Buenos Aires :Sharples

[marianne Faull]

My 2 x great-grandmother, Maria Benita Sharples was born in Buenos aires c 1869. Father James, Mother unknown. Two brothers, Anselmo c 1867, Francesco c1868, one sister, Eliza c 1865 also born Buenos Aires.
Where can I obtain birth details, parents etc. Have tried consular births, regimental births , websites etc to no avail.

Thanks Shezzy, but the entries on the site for Sharples are mine from a query I sent. It is a very good site, but no information on my family as yet. I am also waiting for Family Search pilot to update their Argentina 1869 census on line
cheers
