I have been searching for information on my late uncle who seems to have vanished from racords after 1911 census His name Ernest Curtis born Timberland Fen Lincolnshire 1907 my Mothers younger brother all siblings have passed away and the only info i have is from my cousins who all say that uncle Ernest left the family home inTimberland following a row with their Father George Curtis None of them can elaborate on this as their parents like my own all told same story but never told us when he left
I susspect it was in 1930's as most of his siblings had left home either in service or married also his mother and his brother Albert died
It just seems as if the family wanted to forget Ernest Curtis as ther are no photographs of him I have checked B M D & Military electoral rolls & passenger lists found several Ernests but no match not even school records
Maybe someone out there had a Grandfather called Ernest Curtis who never mentioned his family ????

Have you got his birth certificate for exact date of birth?

That might be useful for a search on death records.
