Ernest Herbert Pullinger El Salvador

[Sonia Gardener]

I am new to research in El Salvador so am hoping someone can give me guidance to further information regarding the Pullinger family.  What I have so far:-
Ernest Herbert Pullinger married Elena Margarita Avila 1912 San Miguel.  His parents are given as Edward John Pullinger & Elizabet Ferman, Elena's as Gregorio Avila Villafane & Margarita Bustamente.
From the UK 1939 registration his occupation is given as metal mining engineer & I believe he was born 9 July 1883 Uitenhage Cape Colony.
Edward & Elena had 3 children Dora Margarita, Robert Cecil & Ernest Arthur.
Also in UK 1939 there is an Elizabeth A Pullinger bn 12 Dec. 1875 an artist painter & living with Ernest & Elena.
What I really would like to find out is Ernest's parents origins & if they were the original Pullinger's in Africa or there was a previous generation.
Any other snippets of information to help put "meat on the bones" would also be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for any help given.

El Salvador is in Central America;  I have asked a moderator to move this to a different board.

Thank you so much ciderdrinker for all the info.  I am always amazed how people manage to find so much when I have been going round in circles for days. I shall have an enjoyable afternoon putting all this together and see where it takes me.
Many thanks & stay safe.

I'm wondering whether some of the first names / surnames / year of birth should be just that little bit different
(Note: there is so much online for this family. I could have continued to add this story)

PULLINGER, James, 47, Groom, Widower
