Hi
I am tracing Ellen Clara's tree. I was told by my mother-in law that GT GT granma Clara was illegitimate she told me that Sarah (isabelle), who also looks as if she was born out of wedlock, got pregnant by some posh chap while working in service on St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. I haven't bought either Sarah Isablle's or Ellen Clara's birth cert yet. I've got a feeling that as they both have there mother's maiden name they are unlikely to put who the father truely was. I have no eveidence to back this up so it could all be wishful thinking unfortunately family stories do tend to be rather tall
