Hi Jennaya
The current theory is that Ernest the acrobat was the son of Hope WHITE and Samuel James FRANCIS.

Sorry, I actually meant Samuel FRANCIS parents. Or perhaps he just Anglicised his name when he came to Australia.

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

I was referring to the parents of Ernest the acrobat. Do you know who they are?

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

I wonder if he had an English father and Indian mother. I have read articles about men from England taking Indian wives when they were working there.

I think it means previous issue of the marriage.
She wasn't married so couldn't fill out that part at all.
I'm fairly sure that Ernest and Ellen won't be mentioned on the birth certificates of children born after her later marriage.

Somewhere on here I read that Ernest HOPE has Mother unknown on his marriage to Sarah Towell.

This suggests that he wasn't raised by his mother.

Also you think that ERNEST would be using the name LEE, if his mother married in 1891, when Ernie was 2/3.  Correct!!! This man is giving us all a migraine.  LOL

I'm thinking that Ernie may have been raised by someone else, or in a children's home. Due to him being a mixed race child born to a very young unmarried mother.

I am not sure where it comes from, just that the family has his day of birth as 9 June, but the year is 1890.

Debra  :)

That sounds promising as being the same person.

I drilled down on this BDM entry and the actual DOB is 09/06/1889.

Good grief, I forgot that this was how I initially became interested in him, same date of birth.  I have read so many news articles that my head is full!!

Could this really be your Ernest?


Debra  :)

There is so much to read. Where else have we seen this DOB?  Sorry if I am asking an obvious question.

PS  Ellen V. White died 17/12/1888
