Solomon Family in Australia

Good thinking Maddy   

But the snippet does say Stella Esdaile rather than Stella PACK.  But yes Stella Pack is an actress at age 14 around 1910'ish.  But I think Stella ESDAILE won the Silver medal ... mentioned elsewhere ...well could be wrong.

I'm guessing the reporter was as confused as I am 

adding : Here it says Stella ESDAILE won the bronze medal for singing at the Royal College of Music in 1914 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article10799007

Just in case they are related ....

A lovely photo of Stella Esdaile http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article146178749 and of Florence Esdaile

They're lovely aren't they. Here's another of Stella from 1898 in the "Melbourne Punch" 5 May 1898, p390. And a bio of Florence from 1897 in the "The Era" 24 July 1897, p17

Though I still can't see how/if they are related to Ernest ?

I was wondering ... Florence and Mabel are old enough to have given birth to the Ernest in 1890, although I know it says Annie and John as parents on the Vic BDM index. I think it would be interesting to see that birth cert. Though again, if he was born in 1890 that seems too big a difference to be the Ernest who appears in England born c1877.

Trying to locate the 1890 Ernest SOLOMON.

There is no Ernest SOLOMON or ESDAILE buried at Melbourne General Cemetery or St Kilda Cemetery.

Still considering reply 15 and 18?!

Also Wivenhoe asked about the 1904 marriage witnesses.  This is def a must know!

Would a copy of the will give more information about Ernest ?
