Robert Allan James Forrester
BIRTH: 1889 - Paddington, Middlesex
F: Seymour Forrester

M: Eliza Caroline Stone

Hi Everyone

I am looking for information on the above. Robert was the son of my great uncle, Seymour and his wife, Eliza Caroline Stone. Robert's birth varies between 1887 and 1889.

Any help would be appreciated as, having looked on various Public Member trees without success, he seems to have disappeared after 1891

Regards
Frank

Cannot see any of family in 1911, but my fmp is playing up.

Thanks Pat and Joseph. Eliza died in 1906. I tried to find Robert on the 1911 census without success.There were no deaths recorded for him between 1901 -21 on Frebnd.

Cheers

He was within the age band to have served in WW1. Might be worth taking a look at www.cwgc.org (A free site) to see whether he shows up amongst the war dead.

Hi Jonesey,

I had a look on the site but he wasn't listed. The only other possibility is, that he might of emigrated.

Cheers
