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

[Rosinish]

However it would have been nice to have had an update - even if it just was that the bear's owner (no names) had been traced, especially since so many Rootschatters gave up time to research for the family.
 

Is precisely what I meant i.e. Reply from Airport....................We would like to thank the people involved in helping us to reunite teddy/find relatives or whatever as it was very much appreciated...............That's all I ask

I agree...I still think it was a chance purchase by an out of town bear collector

Even if that was the case Carol, a message to say they appreciated our help but have been unable to follow it up.............whatever...............

It's called recognition & courtesey

I think you're right Carol.

However, given the amount of international and of course local attention the bear attracted you really would have thought that someone, somewhere, would have enlightened at least the local paper as to where the bear came from.

ie there appear to be very few , if any, relatives that would be the owner of the bear and photo......
maybe after a house clearance he finds himself in an antique/second hand/charity shop ......
someone buys him and then returns to their home overseas......
and somehow manages to leave him at the departure lounge

but with all the media attention I would have thought someone would have at least enlightened the airport if they recognised him.

Well, I've sat here and read through all FIFTY pages of this thread, and I must say well done to everyone on the work you've done. Such a lot of searching on very little information, and I've almost been biting my nails. I just feel so sorry that no-one has come back to you, even with a "Sorry, we've not heard back from anyone."     As you say, ammack, a cetian lack of manners.

had a look again at the picture and found some information which hopefully will be useful says "taken on  baby's birthday march 4th 1918, one year and 5 months old." and on the side"from the studios of dura limited" and says "With dearest love 9x's to our darling daddie from your loving little daughter 7 ,and then something i can't make out,and then what looks like donald glyn"
hope this helps.
p.s. sorry if i haven't said sorry.
forgetting my manners.
many apologies.

Hi Undertaker,

There are 50 pages full of relevant info. to lead to a successful ending whether it be reuniting Teddy with family or otherwise.

All the info. you have given has already been scrutinised to great extent

Sorry if I sound rude but everything that could conclude the mystery is within those 50 pages.

My posts are generally asking for an update or an answer as to whether the RC's info. was of help or not as there are a lot of people on here who have spent labouring hrs to find/identify original owners whether or not someone else is now the rightful owner and should therefore deserve a thanks at least.

Annie.

Ever thought, that considering the full extent of publicity this incident gained, with no sucessful outcome, that this could be a hoax, aimed at testing the public response to a possible loved one's loss.
