Thanks AG - I have checked and double checked all those addresses but nothing helps ................... :-(

I am so sorry thought was at a dead end with this line of enquiry so not been on to look. Thanks so much for all the work you have been doing on my behalf I feel awful. I have been doing the research as a surprise for my friend so I haven't got any more information and I really doubt my friend does. I will look through your previous posts as I wanted to reply first before looking.
Thanks again

Phil

Thanks Philip - plase do look again and see if there is any little snippet of info which you might add to help us.

If you could find his birthday that would be absolutely wonderful !!!

I have looked up the marriage for Cecil Edward Herbert who is the first child of Ernest Herbert Herbert and Beatrice. They marry on the 6th July 1929 at St Pauls Westleigh and the father is named as Ernest Herbert (Deceased). Their last child Fred Herbert was born in 1928 so that narrows the search for the death of Ernest Herbert Herbert.

On the marriage it says occupation of father train driver

In 1911 EHH was timekeeper at an iron foundry - so seems to have changed occupation again between the end of the war and his death.

Death of son William Onslow/Anslow - actually born 1908:

If someone has access to the findmypast website this might be worth checking out (not sure what info is likely to be recorded):

There is an Ernest Samuel Sole listed on the wills and probate section showing that he was a shareholder in the Great Western Railway 1835-1932 (years 1883, 1898, 1904 and 1905).
Also there is an E Herbert recorded as a shareholder in 1928.

Thanks Maddie.... Anything on E Herbert in 1928?

Great find Tiggit !

Unfortunately the mention of 'E Herbert' is purely as someone who makes a declaration on a death cert of a totally unconnected person called Arthur William Ballance, a farmer from Suffolk.

All the mentions of Ernest S Sole certainly connect to 'our' Ernest though.

Ok, thanks Dea.
