Marty,

Looking back at my information, I have made a note that they were in Dartford in the 1901 census.

All,

Interesting: an Eliza Collins (nee Elliot) deposited both Minnie & Burtie into the Strood, ie Union Poor House. Eliza had a sister, also named Millie Elliot!

Both Frederick Banks and George Collins (Eliza'a spouse) were cement workers. This might explain Reginald's appearance in the Workhouse, later than Minnie & Burtie, deposited by a Mrs Elliot (sub-defuge perhaps)?

My friend who is helping me with my end of the search thinks that maybe a copy of Reginald Alfred Banks Birth Certificate might illuminate further?

Regards

Hi

Indeed you are correct Pete here. Just had a reply from Westminster Achieves. Alas, the address of the Westminster Boys Home of 26 Gr St Peter St was inaccurate as 26 relates to the CofE Church. A friend of mine is in Kew today and she is hoping to obtain a copy from Grandfather's WW1 release/discharge papers from mircofiche as opposed to the on-line version available. From memory there is more on the mircofiche record.

Seems Herbert joined the Army at age 17.
Again cannot find Birth Records for either Herbert of Reginald  in Canada..
I did find a Herbert Elliot from the London Regt on the memorial wall at Tyne-Cot cemetery in Ypres. Not sure if this is a runner that i have yet to progress.

Looks like you are right with your Canadian hunch.

Suspect you have already established that Paul Hotzman's parents were immigrant's from Germany 1860's think 1862. Looks like they were German Jews. 

Not sure how far you have managed with Canadian archives.

Before Mum was overcome by memory loss, she did allude to the fact that Reginald's Mother's maiden first name was Carmeletta. Surname unknown.

I've often felt I was just one piece of information from actually nailing this part of the family history. Yet at every turn I have been foiled.

Keep in touch.

Pete

Marty,

Cousin P here. I have news of the Strood Union Workhouse from Medway Records. Alas it is little help. Grand-Father was placed here by a Mrs Elliot (not Frederick William). Not sure if Herbert was admitted at the same time.

I have posted the Boy's Home in St Peters, Westminster to see if I can obtain a copy of Reginald's entry into here. Seems he checked in and out of Farningham Little Boys Home in Sept 14 but was re-admitted in Nov 14, then was placed with an American Repair Co in Edgeware Rd (you probably have this info, nonetheless, it may assist.

Regards
