Hi Dee

I spoke to her today and she remembers her father being around when she was 14 but believes he left her mother not long after that and doesnt know when he died.

As for Emma, I know that she was still around when my Uncle was born in 1942 but wasnt alive much after that. No-one remembers exact dates

Oh wow!!!!!!!

Thank you, where can I find the records though? I just tried looking on FamilySearch but couldnt find Major

I'm on ancestry, still can't find ernest on the 1901 census though.
at least now we may have something to work on and i would say that we were prbably all wrong and James and Lillian were born Gascoines. Now lets see if we can find ernest.

just a thought, you say emma may be Irish, did Ernest go to Ireland and marry there?? If so and the twins were born there, we wouldn't find them on freebmd!!! This now is starting to look like a strong possibility.

Unfortunatly it is just a possible that she may have been irish, it was mentioned by relative but not by my Aunt Lilly. She has not mentioned about her parents marrying in Ireland but cant rule it out I guess.

I did think the same though, and have a look at ireland at Ulster area but nothing for Gatton or Gascoine. Could be a very long search if it is Ireland!

I really do appreciate your help on this one

Edward was an artist and engraver.

I still haven't thrown up anything on Ernest since the 1891 census, I've had a look for a birth for Emma Gatton in England, no joy.

Starting to look like an Irish search now.

Thank you Denise, I couldnt have managed to find all the family on my own. I really appreciate all your help.

Hi Lorraine,

It's really surprising what people remember once you start picking there brains, my own parents still throw up surprises when i talk to them now, I say "you've never told me that before" they reply "Oh, didn't I, forgot about it till so and so happened or so and so was said."

I'm not really sure now where to look for Ernest, I had hoped he'd joined the army, that's were I found Major, but no luck.

If you need me at any time just click on my name and this will send a private message directly to me.

All the best Lorraine,

Dee x
