Hi All  :)

There is also a shipping entry for a Francis S Banner returning to the UK in 1927, occupation is showing as a naval officer. He was 38, so born c. 1889 as you have.

Some family trees on Ancestry have his death in 1953 in Rosyth, Fife, as you have found Ev.

Monica

Added: Details for his death on line show as: Queensferry Road, Rosyth (accident), usual address 50 Park Road, Rosyth, Engineer Commander Royal Navy(Retired), Divorced, Informant E Banner (sister)

OK, so that is Francis and Austin, Ev  ;D

Chrissie is showing on some family trees as having died in Bradford Yorks. c. 1979. Don't think this info is correct - there is a death for a Christina M Banner b. 1908 who died in 1978 in Edinburgh. Her phone listing in 1955 in Edinburgh showed her as unmarried.

Dave, was Chrissie also a performer? There are photos of her on one family tree.

Just a guess, from the death searches showing on SP, you get the feeling that most of the family stayed in the Edinburgh area. There are as possibilities:

A death showing in 1969 for a Thomasina P Banner, other surname INGLIS, who died in Edinburgh in 1969, aged 69 (born c. 1900).

A further death in 1972 for a William Francis Banner, who died in Edinburgh aged 80 (born c. 1892 - a couple of years light of that possible birth year of 1888).

We are also missing the children born between 1901-11. The release of the Scottish 1911 census on 5 April will help you with this. We know that a sister E. Banner reported brother Francis' death in 1953.
