Ernest John OLIVER

[BILL.Y]

I'd be grateful for any info on Ernest John Oliver.  Died 26/10/1918   He was age 39 so was born in 1879 +/- 1yr

Married to Elizabeth Oliver.

His father may have been called Ernest John as his eldest: son, grandson, gt grandson and gt gt grandson are all called Ernest John.  (or maybe not?!)

Hi

You should be able to find him on the 1881 census which is free to search at
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp

His marriage is on freebmd in 1907 to Elizabeth Bignold

The free 1911 index has an entry for an Ernest Oliver aged 33 living in Plymouth.  In same Household is an Elizabeth Oliver b 1875 - and possibly a 6mth old Phylliss Oliver

Hi

You've posted this on the Devon board, but according to his CWGC entry he was a native of Cheltenham:

Perhaps worth a look in Gloucs?

I was worried about the age difference and there are a couple of Ernest Olivers in Devon around same age but he is the only Ernest John.
I can see the same one as Ernest J Oliver in 1901 but will wait until we have more information.

best wishes

Well done  Carole- that sounds better

I have just used Cheltenham as the birthplace on that 1911 entry I showed above and it is the same person

Now that Billy has that info - he should be able to find him in 1881 and also on the 1911
