ernest james conway, 33

if it's my uncle, he was born in lewisham, kent in 1868.

thank you.

[Pamdidle]

Do u have any idea who he may be with. Was he married for instance?

[Gwen@coggiecorner]

Is Ernest James mother called Sara and sister Florence living in Lewisham in 1891. Just want to check it is the right family to help the search for 1901.

[kylejustin]

yes gwen that's right. i dont pam, i was just looking for a marriage and death, and this is the only one i could find.

[Pamdidle]

Sorry Kyle, cant find him. Think l have found Florence, but u were not asking about her were you :D

[kylejustin]

hehe:D no, i've got her on the censuses. she married thomas henry morton in 1892. ernest has been a right royal pain.:( thanx for looking though.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Maybe he was in the Boer War?

[kylejustin]

what a smacking good job merry. now, how do i find out if he was? i have another uncle who was in the boer war.

[kylejustin]

thanx for that quoy, but it seems to be about men who died in the boer war.
it was a very interesting site, but couldn't find anything on my uncles.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

I see he was a Printer in 1891.

There's an EJC (initials only) who is aged either 33 or 35 living in the Kent County Lunatic Asylum in 1901 who was a Printer. No place of birth recorded.

He is listed as a lunatic. :o

[kylejustin]

wow, that's so interesting. i have never found any mental problem's in my tree before. maybe he died from his illness?

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

That might not be your chap, but the death cert might give an indication as to whether it's likely.

[kylejustin]

i should think so.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

I just noticed the chap in the asylum was married, so may not be your man?

[kylejustin]

well, if he did get married, he didnt use his middle name.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Or his first name!! lol

[kylejustin]

possible. but he seems to be consistant in what he calls himself.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Exactly, so it probably isn't him, unless the info saying he was a married man is incorrect (not unheard of).

Given the death wasn't anywhere near that asylum, I would presume it isn't him.

The death cert might enable you to work out where he was in 1901 though!

[kylejustin]

that's a very good point merry!!
