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

[millymcb]

I think it is the same bear - he has just led a very active and long life which has knocked the stuffing out of him a bit!

Also - I think the cameo necklace may be a religious one...Jesus with arms out - or Mary, or possibly a saint (Crhistoper perhaps?)

CCTV footage!  Or perhaps they don't keep it that long 
Ruskie, I think that if you're in the departure lounge of an airport there wouldn't be any visitors or non-travellers as you've gone through security & passport control.  Speaking of which, Teddy would have gone through one of those detector machines, wouldn't someone on duty remember such an unusual traveller?  Then there's the bag.  Can't remember if it was shown on any of the pics but did it have any sort of logo on it?  If it had any of the universal logo's that would not be of much help but it might have been something unusual.
The owner must have thought it too important to put in a suitcase in the hold (if they had any luggage) so intended to carry it with them into the cabin.
Oh, come on you MUST be out there somewhere, this is driving us nuts

CCTV of security is a great idea, look for the bag (if it was distinctive enough). It would be time consuming and as they've said, they thought someone would claim the bear. Must be too late now.

Mmm... too late now, but I wonder if they could have lifted any finger prints from the bag and photo

How uncanny that in the last two weeks BRISTOL Hippodrome have been advertising their new show

"DORA the Explorer" ~ Dora has lost her TEDDY BEAR Osito, and the search is on to find him!

For what it's worth, I think its the same bear.  He's just been well-loved - the feet have been resoled, the arms reinforced, potentially tried to be restuffed due to his big tummy scar.  I think I'd look a bit bedraggled after all that too.  I can still see a mouth on this bear, his faced has just changed shape slightly over the years. 

I also think the significance of finding the photograph with the bear can't be ignored.

I hope he is claimed and all our questions can be answered!

Maybe that's what gave them the idea to go public on the search now after having him all this time.

Hmmmmm.......anybody else out there starting to wonder if its just part of a well crafted advertising campaign?

How about this family........

Nicholas GLYN Baker, died Newport Sept 1986, vol 28, page 395........date of birth 4th Oct 1916 (This date of birth ties in with the birthday of the baby, being 1 year and 5 months old at the time the photo was taken on 4th March 1918)

Nicholas GLYN Baker, born OND qtr 1916, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, vol 11a, page 82. Mothers name Willey.

Dora E Baker, born June qtr 1914, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Vol 11a, Page 108.           Mothers maiden name Willey.
 

Having said that I'm not at all sure it's the same bear    So it probably is an advertising campaign but on the other hand the photo's genuine and these are possibly the children.

Wow...Nice work H.L. ...there is a possible marriage to Elsie E. Norman in Newport in 1941.
