Hi

Hopefully they are related - just have to establish final link between Henry Alfred and son George Elsmore -marriage certificate of George required to see fathers name - cannot find him on Forest of Dean parish records but know they married. Yes I have all of Lloyd Elsmore's brothers and sisters -did some sleuthing and had help from kind lady called Jan New Zealand library service.

According to passenger list George Elsmore and Minnie Nelmes emmigrated to New Zealand from Southampton to Auckland in 1925. At the time they had three sons and three daughters.
Ronald b.1904
Minnie b.1907
William b.1909
Gwen b. 1910
Dorothy b. 1912
Lloyd b.1914
and there was another son Jack born in New Zealand but I don't know when but it must have been very soon after arrival as Minnie was nearly 50 when she emmigrated. So there were 4 sons and three daughters which tallies with the information in the biography of Sir LLoyd by Pauline Garus.

Hope this is what you wanted.

Regards Catherine
