Edward Sydney Curteis b1887 married Elizabeth Bohringer 1908 .Edward left England for theUSA in 1921 and disappeared. Have searched some States deaths but found nothing.

Welcome to the boards, Andrew.

Is there any possibility that he returned to England?

Have you looked to see if he is in anyone's tree on here, and then tried to make contact with them? (Similarly for Elizabeth Bohringer)
Also, have you got the marriage certificate for information about both of them - which side of the family are you connected to?

Thank-you

(not sure if above him)

Chris :)

Not sure if it is the same man in my two records...the WW1 is definitely him - father Charles and subsequent marriage to Elizabeth (and two children at that time)

Occupation draper....

The emigration - occupation manservant

However 1911 census occupation printer's labourer

Births Jun 1885 (>99%)

Bohringer Elizabeth Beatrice J Holborn 1b 660

(above comes up in 'Search All Member Trees' (top right of page, under 'Search) but Andrew has 1886 Germany?)

Chris :)

Born Holborn London on 1911 census - did not realise he had her as from Germany.

Added:
Stuttgart according to Andrew.

Have you checked her second marriage in 1926 to see if she was a widow? She was living with Joseph Phillips on the 1924 & 1926 ERs.


Elizabeth B J Curteis
Spouse Surname:Phillips
Date of Registration:Apr-May-Jun 1926
Registration District:Edmonton
Inferred County:Middlesex
Volume Number:3a
Page Number:1350

Spouse Joseph Phillips

NZ death

1959/36397 Phillips Elizabeth Beatrice Jane 74Y

The fellow who went to the US listed wife as living at ??Gla*more (sorry-bleeping computer crashed again) and his employer as Fred* Hardie of Hastings on Hudson NY. (Chestnut something?)

I think the employer must be Fred* Rus*l HARDIE??

Sorry,
Maureen

The tree on ancestry appears to be Andrew's tree, but the birth is not Stuttgart but Holborn on it. And 2 trees claim a 1903 marriage....

The address on the emigration is 125 Gladsmore Road Totternham. Can't see any details of employer other than he was going to Hastings on Hudson NY State

Looks like one of the sons followed his mother to NZ

Marriage to Edward was 1908 And the first son born 1910 also Edward. Found that he was a rigger in the Air Force in WW1 . Where did you find Fred Hardie.

Frederick Russell Hardie & wife were on the 1920 census at the address given on Edward's immigration record. However, they don't provide any leads to him as they came back to England in 1925 (backwards/forwards a few times) and both died in England. Fred was a merchant/salesman/insurance agent.
