ERNEST HOPE Acrobat

Thank you cupoflife.  That adds up perfectly for a death in December of a 7 month old. Thanks

Hi everyone

I have just received this from Western Australia re Ernie.  Does it appear 1/2 Caste under his name.

I will have to double check on this with WA just in case but that is what I am seeing. Woo Hoo.  Dianna

I see that too

Hi Debra re reply 111.  Doesn't seem to be a Red Herring now!!  Thanks for finding that.  Even if there is no photo in WA him being 1/2 Caste is a really good description.

Now why he is Catholic is another mystery.  His White family were Protestants, another reason I believe they had little to do with him.

I have a small hunch he may have been with Fitzeralds circus which was taken over by Wirths, just a hunch though.  Dianna

The above is the second conviction 16 August 1909

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/25719118

The above was for Sat 28 Mar 1908 

This doesn't match the 12 May 1908 Conviction in Perth.

Maybe that was not in the newspaper???

Hi Neale
  Thanks for that!!  Alway's something new with this guy.  It's confusing as when it say's before whom, the name on the conviction sheet doesn't seem to match the newspaper.  Wonder why? Many thanks Dianna

Error / sloppy work by the newspaper reporter?
