Hi Jennaya
It seems more likely that it is the opposite. White (Irish) mother and Indian father. Thanks Dianna

Just another little snippet. Ernie could have been performing with another guy named SCHOTT

Thanks for that. I just had a very quick look on fibis, I didn't see anything that popped out at me. First tried Births, Deaths, Marriages and Orphanages etc.
That will take quite a while to go through everything. Regards Dianna

Hi maddys I will follow up on that, now that a lot of information has been gathered on Samuel FRANCIS.
From the newspaper reports etc, he has a birth region (place) as Hindostan, Madras, India Generally and described as Chingalese, and just mentioned as a Coloured Man.
At least I have a general birth year and the photo from his time/times in gaol could be very useful. Many thanks Dianna

Thanks Sue. Also why does this man have such an Anglo/English sounding name. Doesn't sound at all Indian to me. Samuel James FRANCIS.
Another Alias situation OR was he brought up by English people. (Orphanage?? perhaps).
I know so many questions. LOL

Also I'm assuming that is was MRS White who served the 14 Day's hard labour. I couldn't find anything re this for Alexina being imprisoned.
I imagine that would have caused Samuel Francis to leave the White household as a border unless it was all forgiven. Dianna

Hi Neale
I wonder was it rent money or money he owed Charles White for boarding there.
Just calculating too, the conception of Ernest WHITE (Hope) possibly September 1888 to be born 1889.
Also Hopes daugther born/died in Newtown in 1888. A lot going on with these people. Thanks Dianna
