KateJ Posted 30 November , 2005 Share Posted 30 November , 2005 Annie - I'm not sure if he's on the Dunmow one as I don't have a list of names for it (yet!). However I'll go take a look on Friday and see if he's there. Do you have any addresses for the family when they were in Dunmow? I've been retelling the story of Dunmow's war memorial in this thread Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the thread - that's so cool! I appreciate your time Kate and I'll get back with more information if I can! Annie Do you have a date for "The Causeway"? It's a longish Victorian terrace just outside of Dunmow town centre - can't remember the exact date it was built but I'll take a look on Friday (the date is on one of the bricks). There are other houses in The Causeway but not that many. I'll try and get a snap of the terrace for you. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liverpool annie Posted 1 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 1 December , 2005 Hi Kate! I sent you the other addresses but this Causeway one - is way too early - 1851!! Keeping the fingers crossed you might find something! I appreciate your help!! Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping the fingers crossed you might find something! I appreciate your help!! Annie Hi Annie, I've just been to the War Memorial and there's an Edward Warner listed but no Ephraim. The Causeway terrace is dated 1894 however there are older houses in the same road (I originally thought it was just the terrace). Some of the finest houses (& oldest) in Dunmow are on the Causeway including "The Clockhouse" - picture below. If it's from the census of 1851, do you have any house names/numbers either side of your family? Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpike Posted 2 December , 2005 Share Posted 2 December , 2005 Annie, Have you tried Southminster where he enlisted and resided according to SDGW? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liverpool annie Posted 2 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 2 December , 2005 Kate ! Thank you for going out of your way for me - I really appreciate it! can I send a donation to the Memorial at all in your name - for all your work ? Wish we lived in THAT house !! I think Edward was a cousin of Ephraim's !! I looked at Southminster too - see below!! Bob! I took your advice and looked up Southminster AND found the Memorial and a E Warner listed!! I'm assuming that is him - I hope so!! do you have the entry for him in SDGW ? Here's a weird thing - Ephraim married a "Flack" and there is a "Flack also on the memorial - wonder if it's the same family - or were there loads of "Flacks" ..... ?? Thanks to you both!

Thanking you in advance Annie Hello. Out of curiosity, I tried putting Warner into http://www.channel4.com/lostgeneration. It came up with some Warners but not an Ephraim. Does anyone know how good the data is on the www.channel4.com site? Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto_33853 Posted 3 December , 2005 Share Posted 3 December , 2005 Annie. I have just sent all the details and photographs of the Southminster War Memorial to Martin Edwards for his site www.roll-of-honour.com for inclusion. If you contact him I am sure he will be able to let you know if the name is on the memorial and let you have a picture of the memorial.
