Hi, I am trying to find some more details on Watson Ellis, son of Jane and Rachel Wood. Watson was born 1792 in Bradford, I don't have any details of Rachel's birth. They married on 13/5/1811 in Calverly. Any information on this couple would be gratefully recieved.

I am trying to find some more details on Watson Ellis, son of Jane and Rachel Wood
He was illegitimate and Rachel was his wife
WATSON ELLIS Christening: 02 JAN 1793 Bradford, Yorkshire
Mother: JANE ELLIS
WATSON ELLICE Spouse: RACHEL WOOD Marriage: 13 MAY 1811 Calverley, Yorkshire
Rachel appears to have died before 1841 as Watson is only shown with daughter Sarah aged 15 in 1841
It's likely she died before 1837 as there is no Bradford death reg for her between 1837-1841

Thanks, I did not have Watson's christening date before, nor did I know about Sarah. I have two other children Ann Ellis and Mary Ellis. I am guessing there may be others. Now I need to find more about Jane, Watson's mother, and still try and obtain a little more on Rachael Wood. I do have other Wood families in my line from Sowerby so perhaps there is a link there. Thanks again.

If you do a parent search on the IGI - the following children were also born to Watson & Rachel
James 22.6.1817 and Reuben 26.5.19 - these are christening dates - not birthdates. The entry for James is a submitted one which indicates somebody else has an interest in this family. The entry for Mary is also submitted
