His parent were Henry and Sarah Ellis. They did not travel to Australia with him. He was 19 when he left.

Australia / Joseph ELLIS arrived in Australia in 1923
« on: Saturday 18 June 11 15:57 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out more about Joseph Ellis. My great uncle Joe. He was born in West Bromwich, England in 1904
He left the Port of London for Melbourne on the 29th March 1923 on board the SS Beltana. I have a passenger P&O passenger list but this is the only info I have. I've searched a few of the passengers list sites in Australia but to no avail. I'd like to find out more about him once in Australia, who he married, children, where he lived, death etc.
If anyone has any suggestions or info I'd be most grateful.
Thanks

Staffordshire / West Bromwich - Back of Dial - 1881 Census
« on: Friday 03 June 11 15:05 BST (UK) »
I have been looking at some ancestors who lived at an address in West Bromwich.
On the 1881 Census the address is "Back of the Dial".
It's on an odd street name or address. Can anybody throw some light on this, knows where it was, why it was called that.
Many thanks

Thanks for this. The Samuel Ellis Baptism is intersting, and as you say gives the fathers name as John.
However, I can't tell which is the correct Samuel with a son Robert. There is Samuel born 1809 (1851 Census) and one born 1801 (1841 Census). Unless they are one and the same and there is a typo or error. Different wives though, could have remarried I suppose.
Confused!

My grandmother and great Aunt were both bookbinders in West Bromwich. I believe at Kenrick & Jefferson's. Does anyone have any information on this company, employees etc.

Staffordshire / Robert Ellis - From Chipping Campden and Lived in West Bromwich
« on: Wednesday 23 February 11 17:44 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I am trying to find out more about the early life of Robert Ellis, his father Samuel Ellis and the Ellis family before that.
Robert Ellis was born in Chipping Campden, Gloucestshire around 1829 (all census records from 1861 onwards and his marriage certificate suggest he was born this year).
He moved to West Bromwich sometime around 1851 to 1858. He married Mary Palmer Banister in 1858 and from the marriage certificate I know his father was a Samuel Ellis. Before 1851 I have found these records:
1841 Census - Chipping Campden
Samuel Ellis Head 40 (b1801) Ag Labourer
Ann Ellis Wife 40 (b1801)
Robert Ellis Son 12 (b1829)
1851 Census - Chipping Campden
Samuel Ellis Head 42 (b1809) Farm Labourer
Prudence Ellis Wife 35 (b1816)
Robert Ellis Son 22 (b 1829) Farm Labourer
Christening Record
11 Mar 1829
Father Samuel, Mother Mary
In all cases the DOB for Robert seems to match and there is a father Samuel but I cannot tell who his mother was and I'd like to trace the Ellis family further back in the Chipping Campden area.
Any help would really be appreciated. I have lot of info from 1861 onwards if I can help anyone else.
Thanks

Worcestershire / Re: The Barracks, Stafford Street, Dudley?
« on: Tuesday 10 August 10 11:48 BST (UK) »
Hello
What was "old docklands"?
Are you also saying the "Dudley Hutments" was "The Barracks" or is this 2 different places?
I've recently went to Stafford Street. The top end is a car park on one side and surgery/doctors on the other. I'd love to know where the Barracks were. I'm currently looking at some old maps to see if that gives any clue.
