Can Rootschat members help? - Lost Teddy Bear 'Seeks' Owner

[Hampshire Lass]

Supposing the possible son of Nicholas Glyn, who is probably still alive, is the owner of the bear, I've looked on 192.com and he doesn't seem to be on the site. I don't have a subscription though so cannot be sure.

If the bear was found in the departure lounge maybe the descendant of Nicholas was emigrating and on finding the bear was missing had no idea how to trace him and is now unaware of all the attention the bear is attracting. Hence why he hasn't come forward.

I know all of that is pure speculation but there has to be an explanation. So, if Bristol Airport are going to contact in the morning how are they then going to find the person who is descended from Nicholas because a year is a long time in terms of someone's address.

Hi All,

Well done, Hampshire Lass for coming up with names and dates of birth. I hope you and your team of helpers are able to pin down present day owners who lost it.  Great job done.
I don't think this is a publicity stunt for Dora the Explorer.

Well done Hampshire Lass!!   

I think we've cracked it now. I expect the journalists will do the rest.

One outstanding question - if the letter was posted to daddie and daddie died, how did the letter get back to the bear?

Hi Carol, if you're reverring to my last post, I think you misunderstand me 
I am Hampshire Lass and yes, like you, have enjoyed researching this today. What I was meaning was.......how is anyone going to find the current owner, when people move around etc. It was "easy"  for us to trace a family tree but much more difficult to actually find a living person.

Well done to Hampshire Lass for her excellent detective work and finding Baby Kenneth, Dora and Nicholas Glyn and to everyone one else who investigated. This has been a interesting thread! I hope it's proved to be the Baker family's bear.
Would doubt that anyone would dream up such an elaborate PR stunt just to publicize a children's theatre show. I think the Dora the Explorer show is just an uncanny co-incidence.

I do not believe the people who are questioning the authenticity of this are against all the people who have been doing such a tremendous job. And I do not feel they are trying to 'derail' it.
However, I believe anyone doing genealogical research must use a degree of skepticism.
I would hate to think of what would be said about this great site if we all blindly believed everything only to find out later that it wasn't true.
Isn't part of research like this to question and find the truth?
I'm sure everyone applauds all the hard work.

No, I don't think this is a publicity stunt, Trystan has been in touch with the lady dealing with it at Bristol airport.  They would lose a lot of credability if it was & I can think of better ways of publicising the airport

I was also in touch with the lady at Bristol airport.  The bear was left over 14 months ago.  It would be bad publicity for the airport if it turned out to be a scam?
