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

[lizdb]

This is just going over old ground.
Sonnie does not appear to be the bears name, but a pet name for son. So it is from daughter and son, Dora and Glyn.

Earlier a possible family was found with children of the right names, right ages, right area, and with father serving abroad.
Until that family is ruled in or out, then there is little point in further specualtion. If that lead goes nowhere then we will have to think again.

The mods have assured us this lead will be followed up, and ask for patience as it will take time.

So lets just wait till they give us an update.

I perfectly understand that folk have to have patience and wait, but what I said was is the name Sonnie OR SONINE.  ?  (Different spelling)  written on the postcard

I was not suggesting going backwards and it was just a thought, however unhelpful it may seem

I thought the forum was for everyone to have an input

.... she thinks the children are both girls because she goes on to say that it's not the most important event in the world but if anyone knows of two elderly sisters, possibly called Dora and Glyn ...

This kind of misinformation just confuses the issue - leading people on a wild goose chase. It is also not very likely that either Glyn or Dora are still alive.

Where did they get "Sonia" from?

Another misleading article. Sonia?  .... and the bear is not Glyn.

I think the airport authorities are trying to find the person who lost the bear in the departure lounge.  That person is not necessarily in any way related to the people in the photograph.

This is the article that we started with in post#1 , and we dealt with the Sonia issue straight away.

This was the article that was referred to in the first post  so it does seem that old ground is being gone over,  as lizdb says.

First post:

Bristol Airport Lost Teddy Bear 'Seeks' Owner

"Bristol Airport is trying to find the owner of an antique teddy bear left in a carrier bag in the departure lounge more than a year ago.

Staff said the bear, who they believe is called Glyn, was found with an old photograph dated 1918, and other items.

On the reverse of the photograph - sent to "our darling daddy" - it names two children, Dora and Sonia, and Glyn."

Does anyone think they could help? 

Snap,  Liz - I was just going back through all the pages to get to the first post!

 Hi Susan,it is,and every little bit of input  this topic gets  will be [I hope]the reason our little mystery gets solved.

Sorry, bad memory - forgot about Sonia from the beginning of this thread. I do remember that Glyn was thought to be the name of the bear though. 

Yes, ridiculous that the incorrect information is still being referred to. It makes you wonder if all the detective work by rootschatters has been ignored.
