Searching family/descendants of Ernest Albert Dye (d. 1945) lived Bootle cum lin

[peneloperowse]

I am searching for descendants of Ernest Albert Dye who was born c. 1915 around Bootle cum Linacre and killed in WW2 23/01/1945 aged 30.  He had siblings as follows:  Edward James Dye (b. 1906), Thomas Henry Dye (b. 1907), Lucy Hannah Dye (b. 1909), Sydney Charles Dye (b. 1910), also a brother V. Dye (b. after 1911) and maybe others.  His parents were Edward James Dye and Daisy Annie (nee White).  The family seemed to be based around Bootle cum Linacre, Liverpool, Lancashire.  I would be very grateful for any information on this Dye family as I would like to be able to pass on a message to the family given to my father by Serjeant E A Dye shortly before he was killed.  Thank you.

Welcome to Rootschat

A photo and biographical details of Sydney Charles Dye (1910-1987) are included in a public tree on Ancestry.  Perhaps it would be worth your while getting in touch with the tree owner?

I have just sent a message to the Ancestry tree owner alerting him to this post.

Thank you so much, that's amazing.  Is there any way I can find out if Ernest Albert Dye had any children himself?  Or is there any way of contacting surviving relatives in the UK?  I have looked through what I can find on the tree of Sydney Charles Dye and there seem to be 2 living children but I can't see a way of contacting them and thought it might be easier if they were in the UK as think they may be in Australia?

Thank you so much for both the replies.  Very grateful if anyone knows any surviving members of the Dye family, preferably in the UK as still keen to search them out.
Many thanks.

It doesn't look as though Ernest was married as the Commonwealth Graves website gives his parents names in the additional information section.

So any descendants will be through his siblings.

There were two other siblings born from 1911 and they were Ethel in 1911 and Victor in 1919.

Looks as though Ethel married in 1933 to a Joseph Morris.  Not sure about Victor yet.
