Can Rootschat members help? - Lost Teddy Bear 'Seeks' Owner

Ooh yes....bagsie the Tobblerone   

Thin red line about sums it all up Jane

Waiting for words of wisdom from Trystan but perhaps he's still asleep...shhhhhhh 
Jane

Well you might wait a long time to get words of wisdom from me...  but I am now awake, and slurping a strong cup of tea anyhow.

Toblerone!!!

Seriously though lets hope this line of enquiry leads to a bear reunion. Although as others have pointed out even if the Baker family do turn out to be the children in the photograph it could be that the photo and the bear were purchased by someone in an antiques shop/fair and have another legal owner.
It amazes me how often I see other people's family portraits and old snapshots on sale at these places 
 I couldn't part with all mine ( and I don't know who some of the people are now - just know they were special to my granny as she kept them all her life).

Jane ...I discounted that marriage for Dora on page 17...she was born in 1909....Pass the Toblerone round before Trystan gets his grubby hands on it

I don't think Bristol airport has flights to Oz so rules out that continent & north & south America...just the rest of the world to search 

Jane

Hmmm!
As well as being an easyJet hub, Bristol airport is also a holiday flight centre.

So direct flights to Orlando, Cancun, Tunisa, Sharm el-Sheikh as well as all over Europe.
There are even flights to the Isle of Man!
So, maybe I could claim him?!?!

I hope Scoutbear  does not go missing at the airport and in a few years we will be looking for his owner I hope we remember who it is Bonvoyage

We can't go 'younger' with this descendants of this family due to privacy issues of living people, but there is no reason at all why it can't be done privately and the information then passed on to the security staff at Bristol Airport.

If we have the likely identity of Dora and Glyn then that is as far as we can go on our site - but then allow the media to go along the lines of "Do you have a Grandad Glyn xxx and a Granny Dora xxx originally from zzz?" and work it from there.

It looks like we have quite strong candidates for their identities, but if there are other options then these can be explored too I suppose!

It continues to amaze me how resourceful you all are, it's brilliant!

Hi Trystan,

Dogsbody indeed.... was this a unanimous selection by the Rootschat Promotion Board. I never saw the vacancy advertised. A bit of nepotism here, I think.

Are you kidding tedscout  ?  Really, this bear is on its way to Bristol?  Tell us the story if you're not pulling our collective legs 
Carol, sorry missed that over on page 17.  Couldn't find another likely marriage or death for her but they only go up to 2007 so question mark on Dora.
Okay Trystan, shake a leg, what do we do next?  Just a thought but could we contact a local newspaper in Wales (maybe Newport or Abergavenney) to see if they would run the story on the Baker family etc?
