Sue In Yorkshire. Report 9 Jun 2015 16:07

An Ancestor of mine had a child in 1885(I have his birth cert.)

Her name is Ellen Titlow born Cork Ireland 1863/4.

Parents brought her and the rest of the children over to Derbyshire in 1865 ish.

The last census I have of her is the 1881 and she is 17 Laundress then she goes missing.
But has John William P Campbell in 1885 Newbold Derbyshire to William Henry Lawrence Campbell.

John William P Campbell also goes missing until 1901 when he is living with Alice Titlow and Peter Titlow,his grandmother and uncle.


Now the problem is I cannot find the marriage for Ellen Titlow to William Henry Lawrence Campbell or where they go until John William P Campbell turns up again.
Could SKS help me as I have been looking for the marriage and where they disappear to for over a week.

alviegal,,

I know nothing what so ever about William Henry Lawrence Campbell not even where he was born or when.

Can't even find him on the 1871 census for anywhere.


John W P Campbell when he signed up for the army in 1903 said his father was dead. So I just don't know where to look anymore and it's doing my head in.

Shirley yes Alice died December 1911 and I am looking for John W P Campbell going to OZ as I have found him on a ship going from Sydney NSW OZ to California USA.

On the birth cert for occupation it says Commission Agent,

So that means to say that's why her younger brother went to Queensland in early 1890.

So Mary Ellen must have come back and had John W P then taken him back so will look for him coming back from OZ AROUND 1899/1900.

Thanks all to all your help.

Gritty,

I don't think the last post is my lot as John W P Campbell was already in the UK IN 1911 see my 1st post,

Your post with John ???? going to San Francisco is the right one.


But I saw in the marriages a marriage for a William Tremayne to Mary Ellen Campbell in 1889 Queensland..

Just wonder if either Mary Ellen divorces W H L Campbell.and marries William Tremayne. which is more than likely my Mary Ellen..

If it is mine she has really mucked my tree up as there is a Mary Ellen Titlow Tremayne in USA which is mine.

And I thought the Mary Ellen Titlow Tremayne was my grand aunts daughter taking her mother's year of birth as she has disappeared from Derbyshire in 1881.

Gosh what a family I have.My cousin's won't believe it all.


This the marriage in Mitchigan USA that I think is my Mary Ellen T TREMAYNE..
