The family (correctly spelled !) is still in Blandford Road in 1901, but the older kids inc Ernest have flown the nest ..

Thank you very much for your help, which is really appreciated.
I really would like to find Ernest J Tooze in 1901.
I think he emigrated to South Africa and worked on their railway system, after 1901.

I cant see him in England or Wales with any of the possible PoBs seen up to now - I wondered if he had married in Swansea in 1909 ....
Let see if anyone else can tease him out ..

I think he married Mrs Margaret Anne Cawthra, her maiden name was Matthews.
I think the marriage would have been after 1914, either in South Africa, or back in England.
In 1950 Margaret Anne was buried in Exeter.

I have quite extensive Tooze/Toze connections in Bampton and area, inc some born at Clayhanger but can not immediately see the connection with yours - I would imagine there is one and will have a look for it. Do you know the names of any other Toze/Tooze family members in the area so that I can look for a connection?
-
Sorry, I was following a relative that married a Tooze late on in her life. She is buried in Exeter. I have no other information.

Hi, I have quite a large database of Tooze, Toze
and willing to share
-
It is Ernest J Tooze, born 1877, I am most interested in, as he married a relative. I am looking for details of his wife Margaret Anne. Her previous husband was called Cawthra.
Kind Regards, Lance
