Find Living Relatives

Thank you all for your help - it has been fantastic. Having turned up the existence of Mavis, the daughter of Leonard and Edna Dare, of which I was unaware, she and Edna are now the prime focus of my search, so all help and suggestions most gratefully received. Again, thank you all so much. Jenni.

Ok

I think we should leave this thread here before anyone else duplicates any australian info which cherilyn has given you on her look up thread.

If you read the site guidelines it does ask not to duplicate requests about the same family to save other members looking for things that have already been found

The chances are he was born in Australia or even the US

No affraid it is not him

Name: Robert Leonard Dare
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1888
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1888
Age at Death: 0
Registration district: Lewisham

Hi All,

Have turned up a record for a Robert Leonard Dare born Lewisham in the free births registered in Jan-March 1888 which might be him. I know he was previously married and divorced from Edith Samuels - haven't traced her yet. I think Lynski would be right. As his second marriage didn't take place till 27 nov. 46 the baby probably was registered as Anson - will check. Thank you all - this is getting very exciting. I need to find her. cheers, jenni

There is also this one of him entering the UK with a Lionel Dare maybe a younger brother..It also says the last permenant res was Australia

I think you will find that the daughter is Mavis possibly born as Anson??

Hi Jax,
Don't have details of the 1950 voyage if you could send would be great. I take it there is no mention of his wife Edna Joyce or daughter Maris? am still looking for them. thanks, cheers, Jenni

Ooops I missed this one...it seems he travelled quite a bit but there are only two entries for him leaving one in 1946 and one in 1950 but this must have been his last journey going by the date
