Hi Malcolm,

Thanks for the look ups.
I am on Ancestry, and came across both of those, that you found.
But couldn't find that definate connection.
People seem to change their names to suit themselves.
I'll try putting the asterix in Bloom and see what comes up.

Thanks everyone for your help.
Ann

I presume this is the Henry you'll find in 1881:

Dwelling: 105 Hanbury St
Census Place: Mile End New Town, London, Middlesex, England

Occ: Tailor

Nelly BLOOM 1 F Whitechapel, Middlesex, England

I also looked up William in 1881, and found:

Dwelling: 20 Mansell Street
Census Place: St Botolph Aldgate, London, Middlesex, England
Source: FHL Film 1341080 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 0369 Folio 70 Page 30
Marr Age Sex Birthplace
William BLOOM M 40 M Barton, Lincoln, England
Rel: Head
Occ: Tailor
Ellen R. BLOOM M 44 F Barton, Lincoln, England
Rel: Wife
Occ: Tailor Wife
Frances E. BLOOM U 15 F London City, London, Middlesex, England

Thomas W. BLOOM 14 M St Georges E, Middlesex, England

If this is William, then where's Ernest Henry and Mary Ann, and how come everyone but William has a mid-name? (NB Barton upon Humber is 10km upstream of Hull).

Blackfriars Bridge is 3 km upstream from Tower Bridge, and Mansell St is effectively an on ramp to Tower Bge. 600m N of Mansell St is Spitalfields Market = the W end of Hanbury St.
So neither of these seem close enough to Blackfriars (although William clearly moved around the time Ernie was born), nor very satisfactory all round.

If you've got access to Ancestry, did you try looing up Bl*m and Bl*me.

Hi Blossom ,

No I don't,

Only the father's name was on Ernest's Marriage Cert. which an uncle had sent for.

This dear old Uncle, he's well into his 70's and does all his findings on foot, going from Devon to London for mini holidays, and searching the records.

Having by chance come across him a couple of months ago while looking for another rellie, so have managed to save his legs by looking on Genes and Ancestry.

I've just found a possibility on Ancestry:-

Henry Bloom b Apr-Jun 1875 Mile End
(ref 1c 500)

I think I'll take a chance and send for the Birth Cert.

Hi Reg,

He was according to the 1901 census:-

Ernest Henry Bloom b1877 Blackfriars, London ----Bacon Dryer
Wife Mary A Bloom b1877,St Lukes, London
Daughter Lilian R Bloom b1899 Edmonton, London

I have his British Army WW1 Pension Record 1914-1920

He is registered as Ernest Henry Bloom b1877 age 39 dated 17 June 1916. Address 18 Bracklyn St Hoxton----Bacon Dryer.

His fathers name is William Henry Bloom and was a Tailor in London whether he was born there I don't know.( this I got from an Uncle who himself is trying his end to find out about the Blooms.

I don't know of any siblings for Ernest. He seems not to exist before 1901.

I've tried looking for HENRY also BLUME.

Any help would be wonderful

Thanks Ann

Does anyone know another name for Ernest, apart from Ernie.
Can't find my Ernest before 1901 census, but know he has to be out there.
Thanks
