The Mysterious Ernest Warren.

[Erato]

I don´t know if this is the same article that you already found:

http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/1999907

An article in the Argus, 8 Nov 1923 which describes the court case in which Ernest was a witness against James Thomas Jones, farmer, and Charles Edwin Jones, salesman, who were accused [and convicted] of cheating and defrauding several people including Ernest himself.

Yes, that was the article-very odd I thought, about the lost memory- it made me wonder if that Ernest was totally an innocent victim, and whether it is the same Ernest as the Canada one. I saw the death registration- looks like I should buy the cert to find out if its the same man-or one of them-  I didnt before because I had always assumed that my Ernest should have died in Australia-- first thing tomorrow I will have a £7 punt!!
thank-you again, sally

There is an Ernest E. Warren listed in the 1919 Sydney & NSW directory at Roscrae Ave., R’wick.  [no occupation mentioned, no Julia at that address]

mmm--so if he is the same man as on the Australind, he was based in Australia at least at 1919, is this a "postal" directory,or a trades directory? I mean, could he be listed as you would be in a phone book even though he may not often be at that address??

It's called Sands Directories: Sydney and New South Wales, Australia.  Ancestry has the directories for most years from 1858 to 1933.  I'm going to check some other years to see if I can turn him up.

1920 – Ernest E. Warren, Roscrae Ave., R’wick. 
1924 - Ernest E. Warren, Villier’s Ave., Pensh’st
1925 - Ernest E. Warren, Villier’s Ave., Pensh’st

Sorry, but this appears to be a red herring.  There is an Ernest E. Warren listed at that last address until at least 1931.

Why don't you post a message on the Australia board to see if someone there can find out more details about the trial?  That might shed some light on what the scandal was [if it is the right Ernest and the right scandal].

Thank-you so much for these details--brilliant.
Well, that seems to mean that the EEW in the Directories is not the one who died in London, but I suppose it might still be the one involved in the trial, and it might still be the one married to my Julia, Great result though! I shall take your good advice and try the Australia board- and hold off from ordering the death certificate just yet--- Thank-you , Sally

"About, the burial, maybe he's buried in England, but they have made reference to him on the stone in NFLD and someone has assumed his body is in the grave"

Ah- just realized what you meant, how stupid of me!!! Of course its a commemoration, why would you take a body all the way back to Canada when the other half of the family are in England. Thank-you!!!
