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

[millymcb]

I am not saying this is what has happened - but if I was clearing a house or found something like the photo and teddy i would definitely put it together to sell it as it would add value to both.

Sorry, I could really have added these pictures earlier.

Hi all,

I haven’t read every post but my initial thoughts on reading the “to OUR darling Daddie” & “from your loving daughter” & Son___ (Sonnie or whatever), doesn’t read in the plural (as in more than just 1 child). 

It seams to be “from your loving daughter & soninl”? – Son-in-Law in short, Doris & Glyn (talking about their children (the grandchildren) referring to the photo being taken on the baby’s birthday???

Just my perception.

Regards,

Anne Marie

There's all kinds of scenarios - for a while I was thinking that the combined bear and photo would have made a great prop in a play or film.

I'm still thinking of that carrier bag - may be mad but the type might well give some info on the person who left it or where it came from 

I've been looking for events in the Bristol Airport area 14 mths ago and got as far as Antique Fairs/Flea markets:

I wonder if Dora went to Scotland?

I think there are to many maybe's and although I am really sorry to say it, but it is possible that our teddy bear mystery may never get solved,I really would like a miracle to take place and for all our members to find some sort of closure on it.we all can make speculations on what happened but will we ever know?,please do not say that I am taking a defeatist attitude,but I am just trying to say that we have to look at it realistically.

I have been following this thread from the start too - it has been fascinating! As quite a new member I am amazed by the skill and generosity of the Rootschatters!!    I really hope for a happy ending for this well-loved teddy! (We have a lot of well-loved teddies in our house!)

Great thread, have been following from first post,

Really hope this gets sorted out, and the bear & photo get back with their rightfull owners after so much hard work and dedication.

I have been a bit curious as to the last line. I wonder if it actually means that it was added to the back of the  photograph one year & 5 months after the message to Daddie.  Maybe that's why the words are upside down to the rest of the writing.

Perhaps the photo was  sent to Daddie and when his personal effects came back - with the photo - the rest was written down.

I like that idea. I was wondering too how the two had got back together.
