Where'd he go ?

Nothing to do with your quest for Frederick, but I've been rootling (as I do) in the papers and found this advert which I couldn't have made up. The address is where Fred's parents were living on his Army records......the mind boggles at the content of their house

Otter Stuffed in Case; Claw Legged Oak Table; 3-bore Shot Gun; must sell.

Caught the otter shimmying up the claw legged oak table
Shot it with the 3-bore shot gun
Had the otter stuffed and mounted in a case
Must sell - in trouble for shooting the otter.

Just a thought....

Okay, after all of that, I can post a '?' post without hiding my face. See Thomas v Williams.

And what was that about off piste?

Not really off piste, just illustrating the family background of Fred, and Jan added a theoretical explanation for the sale of certain goods (well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

Did anyone see my post 'Thomas v Williams' lurking in the mist? I spent precious minutes getting it right, & 'poof' gone. Nothing there today.
Forgive the hijack Chimp please, not got energy yet to repeat it. Could I possibly have forgotten the 'post reply' button?

 

[Chimp]

Yes post 25. Not sure what you meant though.

 

[Ma-dotcom]

It was a new separate post Chimp re my cousins in LLanlly to Swansea & Port Talbot, Glamorgan, Wales.
I'll try it again today when I recover from the loss

Granny Barb found the post- Yay!

It looks like Elsie's mother died intestate in 1919 and her father William James a blacksmith was accidently killed 1 year later according to Supreme Court of WA dated 5/11/1921. Children appear to be Elsie, William, Rita and Nellie reading obits and family notices. The mother was of Subiaco same place as the birth and death of Elsie and John's daughter.

Different family.
Elsie came from Bungay, Suffolk, England. Her parents were Robert and Charlotte Kent (nee Brighton) Charlotte died in Bungay in 1904 and Robert in 1926.
