Tilley can you go back a little further for have noted Malyon re christening of Ellen. Forbes name is within my tree but don't think any connection although they did originate from Scotland. Usually a surname was given as second name to first son born but was wondering if Ellen was given this from her mothers side. try checking out Ann (mother) to see if she was a Forbes. good luck.
