SR that is them in 1851 Vera, feel rather foolish, tried derivations of Ellis except the one with e - that is them, Jane is 2 weeks and she was my great grandmother Thank you thank you JA

Hi JA No need to feel foolish.................We have all been there.............glad to help :-) Regards Vera

Thanks for being so gracious Vera, after so long I think I should be able to crack the nut you people are so good at it Wishing you an enjoyable day - cold and dark here - ideal for FH! With another piece in the puzzle in place off I go again to find George's mother - his father was Thomas! JA

Hi JA Believe it or not here in England after a very rainy start.....the sun is trying to get through....there is blue sky appearing....hurrah. Can I help with Georges mother....feel free to ask. Can I ask where you are? Regards Vera

Hi Vera, just got back from news and dinner - I am in Australia - capital of Thanks for offer to find George's mother. His father Thomas was born I think about 1800 in Huddersfield, also a stone mason but cannot yet find him on 1841 so he may have died or been somewher else on census night I think his wife was Ann he worked in Shepley Children Sarah, John , Joseph Rebecca and George. All this was found by one of my cousins removed when she went to the Yorkshire records office but she could not find any record of the Joseph and Ann's marriage. This is all surmise as we do not have George's birth certificate Glad your sun is shinning and if you can point me in teh right direction much apprecaited. I am off to watch Midsomer Murders so will be away a while JA

Hi JA Noon here....hope you enjoyed your Midsomer Murders..........You are in Canberra. So far no luck I found a George Ellis in 1841 living with a James and Harriet Ellis.....but he is aa apprentice Hatter. So far no Thomas thats matches,( but as you said he could have died) or Ann.....of course it could have been Hannah....!!! Just to confuse the issue !!!! Regards Vera

Thanks Vera for looking, I will keep at it as there is usually a way through! Enjoyed the Midsomer -now late so off to bed. Ann will turn up somewhere no doubt Cheers JA

Hi JA Found an Ann Lofthouse and Thomas Ellis married 12 Jan 1822 Kirkby Malzeard, Yorkshire on the IGI. Wondered if you had seen that one. Regards Vera
