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

[Hampshire Lass]

I think Louise was thinking of the same family as all of us but 54 pages is an exceptional number to actually read and absorb all the information contained in them. Because of the very sensible privacy rules on RC we were unable to give the actual name of the current generation who I believe Trystan contacted.

I for one don't think it's a hoax but there has to be a very good reason why the person who abandoned the bear has never contacted the airport.

It would be nice to hear how this lady responded to this letter we will never have any closure on this until we do.

I think we do have the right family but because of the lack of descendants maybe Bristol Bear had actually had a home with an adopted family for a while.

It would have been so great to have reunited him with his own family and we can only hope this may still happen. Unbelievable though this seems maybe they are unaware of all of this coverage. I have mentioned Bristol Bear to several/many people and not one of them had heard or seen anything about him.

Does anyone know if the bear has been claimed yet - it would be nice to know

I think "sonnie the bear" would be delighted to be re-united with his family

I think a new thread on The Welsh Boards with Trystan's summary and the photo should be started to include "Seeking relatives of Nicholas Glyn and Dora E. Baker of Abergavenny"...anyone researching the Family who googles their names will then be brought here.

OOOOO it looks like I missed at updated post saying the family/owner had been found - how fantastic - all credit to the person that handed it in though many would have kept the bear for themselves.

That's an excellent idea Carol   

For all the recent media coverage about the research it still feels unsolved to me.....and will do until we hear the bear and photo have found a home.

[Treetotal]

Yes I feel that way too HL and a new approach might bring results...if the direct descendants don't want them maybe rellies of Nicholas James Baker may come forward and welcome a copy of the photo for their family files.

I am now confused because I am sure I saw an updated post saying the teddy had been re-united with its owner

OOOOO it looks like I missed at updated post saying the family/owner had been found

Really? Where did you see that? I thought he was still unclaimed

The father and two children had been identified but so far I do not think they have found who left the photo and teddy at the airport.
