I realise Barbara has added to an old thread.

Barbara, have you bought William and Ellen's marriage certificate please? It may name her father and that may make it possible to identify her on earlier census records. From the GRO index of births for her children it gives her maiden name as Hale although she married as Stockwell. That would suggest either a previous marriage or that Stockwell was a stepfather's surname?

Welcome to the boards Barbara. The thread is over 8 years old and it's unlikely that June is checking for replies now.

You could try clicking on her name to send her a personal message. If the has the same email address she registered with Genes they can let her know there's a message in the system.

You have to hope she can receive the message and then is in a position to reply after all this time.

........as I was thinking ...

Births Dec 1866 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oliver Ellen E Dursley 6a 190

.....................?

Marriages Sep 1886 (97%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen William Dursley 6a 371
OLIVER Ellen Elizabeth Dursley 6a 371

but if you have the certificates, then obviously it's just a coincidence.

Can I ask a silly question -

do you have a copy of Ellen's birth certificate and marriage certificate?

AnnCardiff Report 30 Apr 2009 22:27

Was Ellen's maiden name Hale? I have put every forename of her children with Hale in the hope that she may have used one of her parents names for one of her children but come up with nothing!!!

By the way, the first Ellen's birth date is correct

Thanks Ann. All the info about the Allens I already have, but I wanted Ellen's Father and Mother and ? siblings. The second family , the 2 Ellen's are the wrong age, as my Ellen was born in 1865
Thanks for trying.
Regards June

I have a G Grandmother called Ellen Hale Stockwell, who married William Allen in Wottom-under-Edge, Glos. in 1886. Unforrtunately I cannot find her parents or siblings, indeed nothing about her before she married William. Can anyone suggest where I might look? Her d.o.b is 28/02/1865.
Thanks June
