Find Living Relatives

I am of the same opinion as you so I will see what Wendy can find. Thank you for your help. :-)

another bit of info because I was puzzled about the Ancestry user's reference to CWGC records in notes to the 1901 census, since Harry survived the war

what has happened is that the change of surname for Ernest 'Qie' to 'Eyre', with the explanation that applies only to him, has been applied to the other family members

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/3048937/EYRE,%20ERNEST%20EDGAR

... and it is a little interesting in that it says

'(Served as WEAVER). Son of Alice Eyre, of 158, Forster St., Radford, Nottingham.'

Ernest was 4 in the 1891 census so I'd say this is his birth

Births Jun 1887
Eyre Ernest Edgar Nottingham 7b 332

(he was 27 at death in August 1914)

So why did he serve as Weaver ...

could there have been a Michael Weaver? It's a bit of an Irish name, and I don't see one in Nottinghamshire.


4 people do have Ernest in their tree here, one of whom is a person who added notes to the 1901 household at Ancestry ... does none of them know anything of the Harry in that family?


Still no luck with a birth of brother Edward who was 9 in 1891 ... or as Edmund or Edwin, since the Ed* names were commonly muddled even by their owners


I would definitely try to contact the two people at Ancestry who have added to the 1901 census (if they aren't people you have already contacted through this site)
