Title: NYE-Ellis-Palgrave Brickwall Look up
Post by: robraw on Sunday 21 November 04 13:19 GMT (UK)

Please keep reading you may be able to find the answer to the family brickwall
Caroline Nye born Falmer Sussex 1824 had a child Alfred in 1846 while still single.  He came to Australia with his Aunt Maria and her husband William Palgrave in 1848. (after Maria  died in Australia William returned to Brighton and settled there)

Caroline Nye married in Brighton 1847 to Ebenezer Ellis.
In 1871 he is living in Brighton at ?11 Edward St with another wife.
MY BRICKWALL IS what happened to Caroline Ellis nee Nye.
Could someone please have a look at the 1851 /61 or Death registers for me.  Was it possible they divorced.
HELP PLEASE FIND CAROLINE

Hi Robyn,
There are quite a few deaths recorded for a Caroline Ellis on Freebmd,

Thanks Jane, I have looked there before and just had a relook.  No Caroline Ellis between 1848 and 1871 that would have been the right age, even allowing for a coule of years variation for "mistakes"

Will keep looking

Hi Robyn,

Assuming that Caroline died in 1847 or 1848, on the grounds that she married in 1847 and Alfred emigrated with his aunt and uncle in 1848,  the only death I could find during this period in Sussex was:

June Quarter 1847 in East Grinstead
Caroline Ellis
Vol 7, Page 264

In 1848 two Caroline Ellises died: one in Wandsworth and one in Dewsbury.

Hello Robyn and Dimps,

It looks like the East Grinstead one can be discounted. I have just checked the burial register (on fiche) and this Caroline Ellis was buried on 25th June 1847, age 3 years.

Regards,

Phil

Hi Phil,

East Grinstead didn't feel right, as the connections were with Falmer and Brighton.  The mystery deepens.

I saw that East Grinstead death too.. I would'nt give up hope of her turning up though, I looked at the coverage chart for deaths on Free BMD, 1848 and 1849 are not complete.

Does anyone have any spare credits for 1837 online ? who could have a look, might just be a question of 'hurry up and wait' as my Mum would say  :)

Hi Suey,

I got those details from 1837online - that's why I restricted my search to 1847/8.  I've had a look at 1849, now - a few Caroline Ellises, but none in, or even near, Sussex.  Perhaps some others with spare credits could share the search from 1850 to 1854.

Sorry Dimps did'nt realise, that does complicate things a bit then.

Robyn, is it possible that Caroline died outside the Brighton area?  did she have any other family anywhere that she may have been living with?

I possess research completed many years ago in Australia which records that Alfred Nye (b.31.8.1846) was reared by grandmother, Mrs Palgrave. It also notes that his mother Maria Nye died when Alfred was a baby. The baby's fathers name was Alfred, a music teacher. No copies of registrations held however Aldreds death cert of 1916 records that his parents were Alfred and Maria Nye.
Alfred was my G.Grandfather. My grandfather come to NZ from Steiglitz Victoria Australia.
Hope this info may assist in your search.
