ERNEST HOPE Acrobat

[haney]

Im going to spend some time today looking at the Aus Electoral Rolls.  I need to see if Ruth (Watt) is using the name BOW in 1909 through to 1914.

They ie Ruth and James Richard BOW seem to be in NSW and Victoria (overlap in 1913/14).

That makes me think seeing as Daphne Theresa Hope/Lowe/Bow was born in 10 August 1913, 10 CLISDELL St. Surry Hills, that she could possibly have met ERNEST WILLIAM etc HOPE? in Victoria and they came to Sydney together.  Just more speculating on my part though.

Such a tangle.  Thanks Dianna

I need to track down some of Daphne's family I think to see if any of them have the "darkish" complexion.

just for general interest.

James Richard BOW.  from his Tasmanian prison record.

Thanks Sue.  That's a better photo than the one I have. I am sending an email to the library in Tassie.  The have a record there of this marriage to Violet.  LOL. Need to see that just out of curiosity.

The marriage is transcribed on Familysearch.

Hi
  Yes I thought that may be Leonard Ernest King.  Even though his birth date is given on his service record as 1910.  Easy to make those mistakes.

His date of birth is stated as 30 Nov 1910 - with only 4 weeks until the end of the year, his birth may not have been registered until 1911.

Oh for goodness sake.  I wasn't told it was available on Family Search.  So from the library it is the original entry as you said.

Thanks for that, don't have to wait now.  LOL

This just in.  LOL

There is no remarriage for Violet Leith ROBBINS but there are 4 births of children to her and James Adam DYE,

So what is the relationship between Jas  BOW and Ernie KING?
Do they both exist as separate identities?
This account of the trial states brothers.

BOW was a travelling performer with Ditchams Travelling show when he came to Burnie.
He said he was Ernie King’s brother who lived in Hobart.  Violet wrote to Ernie and he said "don’t marry Bow.  He has a wife and child."

This Ernest King who innocently lives in the area denies being the identity in question.

The birth of their son James states that they were married in NZ.
