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

Maybe Genes Reunited could throw up some interesting leads Jane?

I know we should err on the side of caution but Hampshire Lass's great detective work is hard to ignore...I trawled through trees for hours and didn't find a matching tree with suitable names, dates and places of birth

What does concern me is if Dora was Theodora..Dorothy etc. or like Nicholas Glyn...went by a middle name....we could be barking up the wrong Family tree

Good thinking.

We can look to see if we can find online trees that match, and yes, we can look at contacting the local newspapers (and perhaps the Western Mail - the national paper in Wales @walesonline ). Also, for those of you on facebook and twitter then try and circulate the details to see if we can find the descendants.

We could also continue to see if there are other identity possibilities too to open up other avenues (as Hampshire Lasse said).

Nothing shows on Genes Carol so this family doesn't have any family history researchers 
Their birth registrations show as Dora E & Nicholas G. Baker with MMN as Willey.  Both registered in Abergavenny,

That's probably why there is no matching trees Jane...maybe Dora & Glyn didn't have any issue or Dora may have emigrated hence the travelling bear owner.
 I did see a researcher for Nicholas J Baker on GR and the birth place and date were correct but he didn't have Dora Or Nicholas Glyn in his research interests

I think it pays to look on our own doorstep    I've just found two members on SIT with an interest for the Baker family in Newport, Monmouthshire.  Just going to contact them with a link to this thread...fingers crossed

Oooo! Nice one Jane...waiting with baited breath...I was thinking whether we should put an appeal out on the Welsh board seeking rellies of Dora and Nicholas Glyn Baker with a link to this thread?

Both members are not very active Carol so I'm crossing other body parts as well as my fingers

I've been studying the photo again looking for any clues we may have missed...I wonder if there is any significance to the striped material on the bear's paws...I think someone mentioned this in an earlier post...it seems an unusual choice of material....could the stripes be significant if Daddie was in the army...a kind of remembrance...or am I clutching at straws?

  feet decked out in deck chair fabric I thought, or similar... to keep him on deck  ... probably just available scraps, as are the other patches more than likely ...


... added, though army colourings aren't they ... and match the bear colours.
