Australia / Re: Solomon Family in Australia

That is a fascinating find Mike.

I note it also mentions John Solomon sold groceries and provisions.

On the marriage certificate I have for Ernest Solomon and Esther Windish it notes Ernest's fathers profession as "General Deals"

So it appears the solomons left London and headed to New Zealand to follow the Gold Rush which didnt last and then we can guess the family headed back to London to start a new life\careers.

I notice it also makes mention of  their only being 5 or 6 jewish familes left by the end of the century including pollock and solomon.

My theory was correct the birth was re-registered in 1890 due to errors on the original record relating to the confusion on the surnames.

I am wondering as John Solomon married Annie Solomons prehaps there was some confusion and the birth was originally registered under his mum's name and then corrected in 1890 to his fathers name ?

Thanks everyone for your help as it has been invaluable.

Think I might have found the missing link.

I have found a birth entry for an Ernest Solomons in Victoria Australia from 1876.

It has the same registry number as the entry for Ernest Solomon in 1890 and the same parents ?

Would the registry numbers be the same for any other reason apart from it being the same person ?

I'm thinking there may well be something here too many co-incidences.

Looking at both the 1901 and 1911 cenus for Annie esdaile and her family the address is very close to kennington.

There is the solomon-esdaile link.

There is no mention of Ernest Solomon on either the 1901 or 1911 census with Annie Esdaile\florences family - if he was born in 1890 he would have been only 11 in 1901 and surely would have still been with his family ?

Im wondering now if this is his family he was born in 1877 but for some reason his birth wasnt registered until 1890 ?

Assuming they are 2 different ernest solomons currently :

1890 Ernest Solomon - no records so far past his birth record.

"my" 1877 ernest solomon no records before his marriage in 1904.

Need to see if i can find anyting more on the 1890 ernest to rule him out.

Assuming they are one in the same agree with your theories - either his birth was wrongly registered or he married at 14 and lied about his age - Esther was 22 so not outside the realms of possibility although that would mean he was only 27 when he died

Just reading back and the 1887 immigration to queensland has been discounted.

My ernest esdaile was a hotel waiter.

I havent been able to find any birth records in Australia for either an ernest esdaile or Ernest Solomon.

There is also the mystery of why he was known by 3 different surnames as per the will.

Clutching at straws a bit now.

I have found an assisted immigration record for an Ernest Solomon born 1877 leaving the uk and heading to australia.

I have also found a trade union membership record from 1911 for E Esdaile resigning and reason given "australia".

Not sure if they relate to the same ernest esdaile\ernest solomon.

Wonder if he regularly travelled to Australia as the amount he left in his will was quite substantial at only 40 years old.

Attached is the Will for Ernest Solomon.

Apart from confirming he was known by 3 different names it unfortunately does not give much further detail about him.
