Hello Jimmy
I have seen that bapt.entry for Ada,and wondered!!! and also the two deaths for
Catherine + Eva.
I can tell you,this lot certainly gave me some headaches trying to sort em out.
My g.grandad John Evan Ellis was baptised at home the same year he died,by a Catholic
priest,I think his 2nd wife, my g,gran(Irish catholic)probably panicked,as he'd never been
done!

Hi Jac,

It may be worth getting someone to check the Christening for Ada at the archives, to see what other details are on it, Address, and how it is worded etc.

Jimmy
I'm sure I looked at this entry at the start of my Ellis research,but will check again when
I next visit archives.

Had a look at Ada's baptism..
Ada Ellis born 13 July 1863
Bapt 23 April 1875
Parents John+Kate fathers occupation tailor
Address 30,Garden Walk -back of Stafford St.Dudley.
Could John + Kate have been her god-parents? brother + sister, only this family seem
to be bigger liars than "Tum Pepper" whoever he is.
