AsGardener says..what a hero Jimmy! how.....? I'd seen the workhouse and "Rade" lot, amongst others, but not connected..

Clear my fog please..with these Ellen, Amelia, Ellen & emilia..I'll admit, I've lost the plot!

So, my Ellen Amelia Wright 1837, is Read. Parents William read & Elizabeth Playdon, poss in the workhouse 1861 with daughter Jane, &Is the Emilia Playdon in 1841...& 1851.
I'm confused by the Emma read (13) & Ellen Read (3) in 1851, or were they just very fond of the name?

Feel free to correct!

Can't quite believe this...thank you!

Only one problem how does she get to be Ellen Amelia Wright.

Ive just noticed , it's daughter in law Jimmy, but it also has u for unmarried...so how do we explain that! Stepdaughter would have been easier!
It's been suggested that "Wright " is mis transcribed..I'll know more when I get the marriage cert.
So, are her parents Read or Playdon?
She certainly is a woman of mystery!

I think Emilia could be Elizabeths dau, there are some family trees on ancestry that as Richard and Jane As he parents.

I just edited my last pot Jimmy. I read daughter in law, unmarried..not stepdaughter which would have been easier. Maybe they meant stepdaughter...

I think you will find an unmarried dau in law means step dau.
