Next step was to order his marriage certificate, which should have the name of his father, who is the person I am really trying to track down.
Charles Ernest married a lady from Portland, called Rebecca Sansom Lowman and I know exactly where and when they married, so tracking down the certificate will not take as long this time. However, if his father really did run off with a baronet's daughter, it is quite likely that they didn't actually marry, so I could be up against a brick wall once again.
Well, it keeps me out of mischief, I guess!

Good luck with your future research Jenny. You're like the Miss Marple of the genealogical world!
But younger, YP!!!
Well I found them marrying in Werymouth in 1874 so the certificate should be easy enough to track down. Is that your tree on Ancestry?
It is, SP. Are you on there too? I have sent for their marriage cert. and because I have all the details this time, it will be quicker arriving (hopefully!)
Although I use Ancestry a lot, my tree isn't on there. Good luck with your search -- good fun isn't it?!
Very addictive, I am finding, SP.
It tree sounds more interesting than mine. Good luck with your search x
Thanks, Rosie. I'm still waiting for the marriage certificate at the moment.
