ERNEST HOPE Acrobat

As Debra suggests, Ernest Hope failed to qualify for service due to Psoriasis.....I think.

I wonder if his selected alias was a witty comment on both his skill and his possible concealment of identity,
That is it was his Earnest Hope he would not fall during his performances and also his Earnest Hope he would maintain his anonymity.

Hi Sue
    I have that marriage certificate + two birth certs for the illegitimate children with Adelaine Low/Bow.

I am just waiting for the birth certificate of Ronald who was born to Ernest William F and Sarah in 1924 and died in 1927. 

I think this father Ernest Phillip Hope "MAY BE" a red herring.  Nothing can be found on him.


Even though Ernest WF states he was born in NSW, Marrickville etc, this does not match what the family have stated that he was born in Mumbai and was a street performer in Bengal India.

Perhaps now that this CANNO name has surfaced, maybe more can be found.


I'm going to try and track his movements in Sydney c 1910 onwards to 1923 when he married Sarah TOWELL.

I need to find more information on that Adeline Ruth as well to see if she turns up on any electoral rolls etc.

I have three address they were at.  See how I go.

Thanks for the interest and help regards Dianna

LOL I am just reading the whole story of Mrs RUTH Lowe nee BOW, later Duncan.

Wow it's amazing.  I have her husbands WW1 file now looking at it.  Looks like poor Ruth had a really hard time.

More Bigamy and desertion etc alias's


LOWE Thomas : Service Number - 3393 : Place of Birth - At Sea : Place of Enlistment - Keswick SA : Next of Kin - (Wife) LOWE Ruth

I thought I would try again and get this Ruth LOWE/BOW situation sorted.

I'm not sure when Ruth split with that THOMAS LOWE.  He died in 1915 in the Suez and married someone else while he was married to Ruth.

LOL just like that James Richard Bow did.  It's like a soap opera.

I thought this sounded familiar, there is a previous post about this guy.
I'm not sure how to link to it.
