Help me trace my grandfather's Ernest Bloomer ancestry

You might find this useful:

(if you find the correct birth, marriage or death then using the details you can order the certificates from here):
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp
(easy and safe to do via credit card. I think certificates are still £9.50 each)

And some useful links which should help you Debra and confirm the advice you have been given:

(it's neither as easy nor as difficult as it seems.  )

Thanks a ton for this. All I needed was his father's name and I managed to trace his line down to Robert Barzilay Bloomer
& Hannah Benveniste Mendes (born 1509 - Gloucestershire)
At this point the name changes, it's spelled either Blomer or Blumer.
I went back further still and found the surname first started as Herrera which is strange but interesting.

I'm surprised anyone found any baptism records as early as that in Gloucestershire, England as the earliest records don't reach that far back, as listed on Hugh Wallis and also this webpage:-

Debra- instead of answering any of the questions put to you on  both threads you've removed the original post on this one and said 'thank you.' We are all trying to help but perhaps you don't want any assistance or advice

Delete this thread please.

[Ruskie]

Delete this thread please.

Rootschatters love a challenge Debra.

These threads are never deleted I'm afraid, however a moderator is able to lock them so no more replies can be made. This seems a shame in this case as some progress appears to have been made.

If you tell us what the problem is we might be able to help you.

Was there an issue with the original information you supplied? Is that why you have deleted your original question on this thread?

If so, don't worry, just post any new information that has come to light.

I think there are many of us keen to lend a hand if you give us the chance.

👍👍👍I wholeheartedly endorse your comment JM! I have been on the receiving end of many excellent results from Rootchatters, who have generously shared their knowledge and experience, skills, time and determination - and help and advise us when we get stuck!  That's what this very special community is all about!  They really do go the extra mile! Thank You! 🌹

I suspect perhaps Debra may feel as though we were "having a go" at her. 

Rather than doing that I think all we are pushing for are some facts, some answers to our questions, and for you to take on board all the advice given especially about ignoring online trees, and any talk of "Jewishness" (at least for the time being). 

I would advise you to stick with it Debra. I think we will all be disappointed if you throw in the towel now. 

If the rootschatters can't find your family then no one can.
