Thanks for the update Trystan. I am SO pleased that we had the right family and that the bear and beautiful photograph have been reunited with their family.  :)

It's a shame that RC has not been recognised though. I would have thought that the family would be interested to read our thread.

I did enjoy our research and am just pleased that we now have the happy outcome we yearned for.
Best wishes HL

I have contacted a matching tree owner on Ancestry outlining the story of the Bristol Bear and the Baker Family photo....I have given him a link to this post so that he can share in the story in the hope that he may have email contact with Robert G. Baker.
We can but hope  :D

Well Bear has been found, we are now on the hunt for the owner.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  ......like that Marge  :)

We did have his address in Wales. I'm left wondering why our letter didn't bring a response months ago.  Still, that doesn't matter ......it's just lucky that the press cutting was forwarded to him, even if the letter wasn't  :)

I think a big 'pat on the back' should go to Hampshire Lass who made the BIG breakthrough, Page 16 post #151  :)  :)  :)

Thanks Jane.  :)

We all played a part but I am just SO relieved I didn't send us down the wrong pathway by my suggestion.
