IF Elsa's parents were indeed Ernest Edward Scrivens and Annie Emma, then he died "on war service" in early 1939 .................. the following is his Probate Record from ancestry |

This looks as if it is Ernest Edward in 1911, living with his mother and step-father .............. it does say Step Son on the image not Stepsister! |

Trouble is, we don't know for sure Elsa's parents were definitly Ernest & Annie - they may not be. Without her birth cert we can't be sure, and you could do with it to get her exact dob as a Smith is not easy to track. |

I am sure that Elsa married into the Smith Family - mum told me when dad got a private investigator involved several years ago - when he attempted to make contact - elsa had passed away, and he did not pursue anything further. Apparently she had further children with Alexander Smith. |

The 1901 census found by Sylvia is the same family - there are christenings for Emily Christabel (1889), William George (1894) and Frederick Thomas (1893) in Ashted, Warwickshire. The father/mother are correct & his job varied between railway servant and shunter. |

I can't find them in 1891 either, but think at least 2 of Ernest's siblings ended up in your area Sylvia. |

Frederick Thomas also shipped out on the Empress of India, in 1922 - going to his sister Mrs Lourie. He had wife Florence (23) and daughter Sylvia (2) with him. |
