I AM TRYING TO TRACE MY MOTHERS BROTHER ERNEST CURTIS BORN TIMBERLAND LINCOLNSHIRE 18TH MARCH 1907
FATHER GEORGE CURTIS MOTHER BETSY ANN FORMERLY COX
LAST RECORD OF ERNEST 1911 CENSUS
LEGEND IS THAT ERNEST LEFT HOME AFTER ROW WITH HIS FATHER AND HAS NOT BEEN SEEN OR HEARD OF SINCE
HAVE CHECKED DEATH & MARRIAGE RECORDS EMIGRATION ECT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY THING AFTER 1911
AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT YEAR HE LEFT HOME BUT POSSIBLY 1937 AS HIS BRTHER ALBERT DIED AGE 36 ALSO HIS MOTHER SEVERAL OTHER SIBLINGS LEFT HOME IN THIS ERA

Could this be a possible marriage:-

Name: CURTIS, Ernest
Registration district: Gainsborough
County: Lincolnshire
Year of registration: 1937
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Spouse's last name: Gelder
Volume no: 7A
Page no: 1851

Registration district: Gainsborough
County: Lincolnshire
Year of registration: 1937
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun

You would need the marriage certificate to check his age and father's given name to see if it was the Ernest you are looking for.

I think that marriage that Kath posted looks like its worth £9.25

Looks like the couple had three boys and one girl


Cant find a death though, he could have died after 2005, old I know but its possible

t.hink this is uncle ernests family if the marriage is right, DOROTHY M 1937-- GORDON 1939 -- BRIAN E 1943 -- GEOFFREY 1946 -- all born gainsborough

wife LILLIAN GELDER came from barnsley in yorkshire was born in 1907

Elizabeth, is Ernest your uncle too?



I didnt post the childrens names and year of birth as they are likely to be living and might not want their details posted on the internet

no i,m not related , thought if leonard had the names they might relate to other family members as was the case in those days i.e named after great uncle henry

I see what you mean but it might better to send the names by personal message so they are private

How do you know that Lilian was born in 1907 in Barnsley?

I would have thought Lilian was born 1915 in Gainsborough myself?

Have you posted a request about Ernest before?????


I remember a lost Ernest who left home after a row with his father

PM
