I can't seem to go back any further with..who I believe to be my Ellis's. I have...Wlm Ellis marrying Elizabeth Scott 26 Oct 1794 Oldswinford -Witnesses John Farr + Joseph Wilkins.
son..Wlm Ellis bapt.10 Sept 1797 Oldswinford.
Wlm Ellis (1797) married Sarah Littlewood 6 Nov. 1821 Kingswinford...Have all that I believe to belong to me from this date.
The Littlewoods originated from Yorkshire(Sheffield)
Are the Ellis's also from Yorkshire? as this name appears to be quite common there. The Littlewoods last child was bapt. at Sheffield in 1804..so moved to B.C. after this date.
Ellis's appear to be cordwainers.
