Hello All
My Uncle, Ernest Henry WARREN, was born September 1907 in Sussex, England.
My Grandfather died in 1916, in England, leaving my Grandmother with ten children, eight of whom were dependant. Grandmother subsequently gave up two boys to the National Childrens Home. Both boys, one of whom was Ernest Henry, were subsequently sent to Canada.
My Grandmother married again(in London), to an Australian, and came to Australia about 1919 with her new husband and five children.
In Canada, in 1926, Ernest Henry indicated to the National Children's Home authorities that he wished to come to Australia to be reunited with his Mother and sisters. According to Ernest's sister, Dorothy, he did make it to Australia. His contact with his family, however, was apparently brief. Ernest (or Ernie as he was known) then disappeared and as far as I am aware, made no further family contact.
My rather obvious question is; Did he remain in Australia? If he did, what happened to him?
Can anyone help ......... please?
