The only two of this name on Lives and initially I believed them to be related. Their records were researched for a Liverpool remembrance website because there were plenty of corresponding facts but also a few discrepancies. John has a merchant seaman record which states birth 1876 in Guyana; census 1901 and 1911 state cook/steward on the seas but birth 1874 in Barbados. Ernest was born in Liverpool in 1905 but an Ernest Arthur left Barbados in 1917 and sailed directly to France as part of the British West Indies Regiment. The website below gives a full account of how the Quarless name came to be in Liverpool and displays a number of wonderful photographs of John and Ernest, courtesy of their descendants.
