Ernest's middle name
What's interesting to note is that Bass is an English name though sometimes can be Scottish. It all depends how far one goes back in the lineage I suppose. Its safe to assume that Maybe Ernest had a great grandfather of many regenerations before who was English. He worked in the Great Scotland Yard which was the original Scotland Yard, and probably of Scottish or English descent. I am guessing English since the name Ernest is also English. The grandfather of many generations before Ernest perhaps worked as a detective or policeman. Then while he was still young, he was sent to Ireland by the Queen to serve there. He then fell in love with a lovely and spunky Irish Lass, and the rest was history. So depending how far the Great Scotland Yard goes back in history and the time that Ireland stated being ruled by the British, Ernest could be as little as 1/8-1/16th English or Scottish. Maybe even less. Again his first name is also of English/German origin. Which proves to me the family was still proud of their English heritage despite all of it. As for his middle name..... Maybe an Irish name or English name. In this case either would be understandable.
