Amazing the history that is still out there, one just has to keep looking, I guess.

Actually in time it is nothing really and yet it feels ancient. We used to live in a 

wagon, one that had been towed behind a steamroller. When the second baby was

born my Dad took out a mortgage £200 to buy a new built  bungalow.

You are right. Probably Ernest didn't survive. We always thought my g-grandmother in Italy had only three children but I found three more born earlier who did not make it. There may be a death record available for Ernest.

This is a great photo! What a treasure. I also have dug deep into genealogy for nany, many years. Another free source is familysearch.org I think. And Ancestry.com  is always a valuable go-to source. Rootsweb is another. It's addictive so be prepared for a good journey. Thank you for sharing.

Good afternoon

How wonderful this is! I am so happy that you connected and found out more about your family history. I have studied genealogy for decades. I joined ancestry.com decades ago, and I partook in the DNA test a few years ago. Since then I have located hundreds of relatives, including a sister and an aunt that I had no clue even existed. These things are such an amazing invention. You just never know when you are talking to a relative that you never even knew about.
