ERNEST HOPE Acrobat

Hi No it doesn't sound possible does it.  Maybe a typo/exaggeration. Thanks for the tip.  I will have a look at that.  Whether he is listed as an individual or with a troupe/company may prove interesting.

I'll have to use all his names I guess.  LOL Fun.  Thanks Dianna

Hi just checked the link you sent.  For Ernest KING, CANNON, WHITE and HOPE.  Only one found that doesn't fit.  Thanks Dianna

Just to add another place to your timeline for Ernest CANNON:

Prahran, Victoria in April 1911 "Cannon and Scott will give an exhibition of equilibrium, hand balancing and chair pyramids"

Thank you maddys I see another spelling variant of SHOTT as Scott.  LOL.

It will be interesting if I can find anything on Ernest WHITE, KING, CANNON etc before his trouble in WA previous to 1908

Wonder what name he was using then???

I've been told there is a photo of Ern balancing on chairs, if I ever live to see it.  Many thanks

Hi Just a couple of certificates to add for today.  Doesn't help much but I wanted to see them.  LOL

Interesting Dianna,
Although it is not required for the certificate, and therefore not listed on Hope's DC, I did wonder whether Myrtle the informant daughter knew of her half-brother?

Hi Sue
Maybe no one knew about Ernie???  Will always be left wondering. At least we know now when Ellen was born possibly May 1888.  Just interesting seeing what HOPE was up to around this time.
