I'll move over a bit......it's getting quite cosy in here        Grin Grin


Barbara

Could get quite crowded - rather like a broken romance - I do think accepting that one may not ever find a missing soul is not all bad - Could get all romantic & say  "Tis better to have searched in vain, than never searched at all"

Which reminds me - I do have a missing great Uncle, who I have not given up on - I was given a new suggestion yesterday, I shall leave my Irishman & look elsewhere.

I guess we have 2 types of missing folks - those such as MarieC's who disappear into the future & those like my Irish who disappear into the past. I wonder which are the best/worst easiest/hardest to try and find

Trish

I think that's an unanswerable question, Trish!  They are all b***** frustrating!  I'm not battering my head on two brick walls any more, but I shall keep my antennae up as I go on with other things, just in case there's a minute clue somewhere!  Shocked Shocked Shocked

I've four seventeenth century wills to transcribe with difficult handwriting - that will stop me thinking of Edward and Eleanor for quite a bit!   Grin

Hi Barbara,

Not giving up on your Ernest, just yet Shocked

Have been reading your threads on Ernest, and wondered if there was any other information, what I have read so far is; he has not been found except for his birth, marriage and death under the name Ernest Abbott Onley.  He was known as Fred/Frederick and sometimes with the surname of Blunt.  Do you know when he used the surname Blunt?

He had an adopted sister, name unknown, who was older than Ernest, but sadly died at age 14.  Ernest ran away from home/boarding school around the age of 14. 

Ernest possibly served with the Royal Engineers, in the UK during WWI.  His occupation was a carpenter and he worked with theatres/shows.

Sorry to be asking just questions.

Interestingly still cannot find mother Louisa or her brother Walter on the 1901, possibly just coincindence Huh

Hi Kath

Ernest is still an enigma..........he did exist 'cos I met him    Wink Wink  But other than that, who knows.

Everything you put down is correct.

As far as we know, he used the name Blunt when he was working on the stage........but from what date is unknown........I believe he used it till the 1920's.

I promise to put the name of whoever finds him up in lights.........well, at least one light bulb over a print out!!!

Louisa also vanishes untill her marriage to Charles Barnett 5th February 1914 in Hackney. 

That's the only new information I have.

All the best

I'm just wondering how long do you keep looking for somebody before you say enough

Havnent read the whole thread but my answer is that you NEVER call it quits! you may stop actively looking, you may put it on the back burner and concentrate your efforts elsewhere. But you never call it quits and officially give up - who knows when you might suddenly stumble on the one vital piece of information that opens up a whole new line of enquiry!

It could be a very LONG pub crawl, Barbara, because we don't know where to start looking for these wretches!
