Find Ancestors

Thank you Chris, Sylvia and alviegal. Your posts are most informative and you are all good at doing it when I am not at the computer !! To be honest, all Dea's births are listed with mothers maiden name Hartley and there are entries for the same Christian (and Ellis) names in different districts in FreeBMD next to each other.
I like to find siblings, to give a fuller picture, but of course it is the parents and marriages that form the basic tree back from the living.

It is tempting to suggest that both babies were of the same parentage.

Frances .............

you could put this site in your Bookmarks or Favourites. It is fantastic for bmds, especially before 1837

http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html


It is free to use ............. and much of the information given to you on here has come from that site.


This site is also quite useful after 1837, as it iften gives the mother's maiden name

http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/


and this part of the familysearch site is VERY useful for searching the actual Parish Registers ............... but it is not indexed so you have to search page by page. Because of this, it is better if you can get an idea of when an event happened and then search the Registers

https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https://familysearch.org/recapi/sord/collection/1788853/waypoints

These appear to be their children.

My brain has now more or less caught up on what you have posted but there is one bit of info I seem to be missing which is where was John Greenwood Ellis born please?

As the children Dea found between 1838 and 1843 are not showing on the 1851 census I looked for their deaths in FreeBMD but none of them show up (for me). If they are still alive where are they staying???

Thank you Margee and Dea,
Sorry for delay, I had to go out this a.m. and haven't seen your posts until now.

I am coming down on Dea's find as it includes Emma Grace, who was my original target.

This is their marriage:

Marriage: 28 Apr 1833 St Bartholomew, Colne, Lancashire, England
John Greenwood Ellis - Cotton Spinner, Bachelor, this Chapelry
Ann Hartley - (X), this Chapelry

These are all the siblings listed on Lancs BMD with mmn Hartley and parents John & Ann(e) up to 1852:

1838:

I wonder if this is the Elizabeth born 1835, Colne? Ann and Hannah are often interchangeable.

I wonder if there's another John & Ann Ellis in Colne? It's just that Elizabeth's father was a cotton spinner in 1835, a draper on the 41 census and a cotton mill manager in 1851.

Her birth is on Lancashire OPC:

Thank you Kath, the ages are quite possible for 1841 and Burnley is part way between Colne and Accrington so I will have a look for a death of infant Elizabeth .....

Doesn't seem to be there:

I am researching the Ellis family and from IGI some while ago I found :-

Emma Grace’s brother
George Ellis
Christening: 16 FEB 1834 Colne, Lancashire
Father: John Ellis (No birth)
Mother: Ann
ELIZABETH 20 SEP 1835

and I was also given

1851
John Ellis 39 Head Manager of Cotton Mill
Ann Ellis 38
George Ellis 17
William Ellis 14
Emma Grace Ellis 3

Living Grange Lane Accrington

but Elizabeth does not show, so is she part of the family in 1841 please?

Many thanks,
Frances
