Hi thought I would just put in to the mix from the 1913 Electoral rolls.  We didn't get that far I don't think.

I do have Ernie and Adeline living at 40 Clisdell St. Surry Hills in 1913 from their daughters birth certificate

I tried yesterday to log into the State Library eresources so I could check out (possibly) more newspapers than what is available on Trove to try and find Erns possible movements, under that name WHITE (or??).  Anyway that didn't work out as I was locked out and couldn't get back in so looks like I will have to use the "Ask a Librarian" option.

Onwards and Upwards and it's been great the progress that has been made.  Thanks Dianna

I'm not sure that the NSW Library eresources will have any Australian newspapers other than you can find on trove earlier than 1954. Through the Library you can access various newspapers for after this date. I have just logged in now and it seems to be working ok.

Hi Sue I was thinking more of overseas newspapers to see if there were any entries for Ernie for the missing years previous to 1908 in WA.

Theres something called Gale? re the newspapers I think.  Anyway I don't know what's happening with my library card!  Maybe it needs updating.  I was using it during CoVid though.  All good Dianna

Yes, you can see overseas newspapers. Gale Primary Sources is a great database, there are also Chinese and other newspapers on the NSW Library eresources. I have had a look previously for Ernest CANNON/WHITE/HOPE etc using various keywords like acrobat and chair balancer etc, but couldn't find anything. Certainly worth another pair of eyes!

Hi thanks for checking on Ernie.  Considering his age he may have not been billed on his own, just a guess of course.  He seems to have come into his stride in later years 1910-1912 and onwards.

I will contact the National library as they hold electoral rolls 1913, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1919 on microfiche, see if someone there will have a look for me.

I will also have to contact them as they seem to have quite a bit of information on Entertainers/Theatre etc.

Maybe nothing specific on Ern but who knows.  The hunt continues.  Thanks
