Ernest tried his hand at many things. For a while he worked in Birmingham. He was also apprenticed to Warwick House, Malvern in the furniture department. Around 1900 he joined Cox and Painter Lear and son of Church Street, Malvern Wells, auctioneers and estate agents. He provided valuations and catalogues for their antiques and also collected them himself. He lived in Worcester, Kidderminster and Hereford among other places and finally settled in Malvern. When the Dodd Trust was wound up, around 1922, at the death of Aunt Edwin Holmes and Canellon was closed, Ernest and his family were living at Gladstone Cottage, Albion Road, Malvern Link.
