You mention possible further children. Curiously in the GRO birth indexes there are several more Sawle births where the mother's maiden name is given as Richards i.e. 1912 Joan M, 1914 Clifford G and James G, 1916 Florence A S, 1920 Evelyn M. The first three are in Redruth District and the last two in Portsmouth District. Clearly Ernest can not be the father if he died in 1909 and they may relate to a completely different family but I can not find another Sawle/Saull and Richards marriage that would fit.
Do you have any further information about Ernest that may help to identify his parentage?
