Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 199 Send Message	Hi Everyone, Looking for any information on my 2nd Great Grandmother LOUISA ELLIS born abt 1859 in Constantinople (listed as a British Subject). Her parents were George Henry Samuel Ellis and Phoebe (have come across Phoebe IBRUBER- BUT TO ME DOES SOUND RIGHT). In the 1911 census it lists her with husband with 3 Children still at home... It also States that they had 11 Children born alive, 8 living and 3 died... I've managed to find 9 of these children( Louisa 1879, Ada 1881, Lily 1882, Alice May 1886, William Herbert 1887, Mabel 1890, Amelia 1892, John 1895 and Harry 1897... Thank you in advance for any help x

	If "Ellis" is her maiden name...........what name will we find her under in the 1911 census?

Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 199 Send Message	Have had a look on ancestry have attached 2 bapt records for you perusal first one is a Phoebe Imber this age tallies with the Phoebe on 1881 census married to a Moyes? with Walter a boarder. The surname IMBER can quite easily be transcribed incorrectly to LRUBER. second one is for a George Henry Samuel Ellis this age range would tally with having children from 1850's.

Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 199 Send Message	Nothing tallies up Birth 1859 Marriage 1879 (making her 20 but says she was a minor) 1911 says she is 50( so if she is 50 in 1911 that would make her 32 at time of marriage CONFUSED. COM lol x

	20 would be a minor back then, 21 was the age you needed to be without needing permission to marry I think you have not done your sums right she would have been 18 census's can be a year or so out also
	Researching: Nothing much
