  FACTTrip	1914  [7]
  	to England with his wife, son, and sister-in-law
  	It is uncertain when Ernest, Gladys, Tom and Jessie went to England, what towns and countries they may have visited, or even if this was a work or pleasure trip. What is documented is their effort to return from England to New York. They had been scheduled to return from England in September of 1914, aboard the SS New York, but for some reason changed their plans. They returned instead in October, aboard the SS St. Paul, sailing from Liverpool to New York City. Later, in 1918, when Ernest needed to go abroad again, he applied for a replacement passport, noting that the one he had in 1914 had been lost or destroyed. Likely there is some connection between the lost passport and the delayed return. Recall that 1914 was the beginning of The Great War. Transports from England to the US would have been in flux as regards the exodus of US Citizens.

  Travel	Aug 1928	Southampton, Hampshire, England, United Kingdom   [7]
  	Trip to Europe with her son
  	Gladys Chamberlain and her son Tom returned from England via the SS Homeric. This seems to be the return from the extended European stay that Marguerite Brenholts and Gladys Chamberlain had, with their children, following their divorces. It seems that Gladys and Tom left Italy and went to England, sailing from Southampton to New York two months after the Brenholts family had returned. Since Gladys married Mr. Gibbs shortly thereafter, and he was English, it seems that Gladys and Tom went to England to spend some time with him, prior to the marriage.

  	bought a share in a gold mine
  	Gladys purchased a share in a gold mine - Scales Placer Mining Company. In 2022, brief internet research seems to indicate that there is some land in California that is still owned by this company, but that has to be wrong. I mean, it has happened before that someone is wrong on the internet. Or maybe we're rich, perhaps some research is in order.
