Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage Look up ELLAMS

Yep,  It is my William.  I already have his Will and have followed up the children mentioned in it and learned a lot about them, but not about William and his wife, Mary.  It gets so frustrating.  I have looked for their births and marriage at the RO, and for their gravestone(s) but no luck.  Still, they'll keep me going through the winter, I'm not one for giving up.  Thank you for your assistance Jean, really kind of you.
Jill.

Hi Jean,

Thank you for your email.  I know about those people you mentioned but I don't know if they are anything to do with my ancestors, as my William Ellams was married to Mary ?  who was born in Alvanley near Helsby.

I can't help wondering though, I notice you have written bachelor next to William who married Ellen Lightfoot but not the William who married Ellin Handley, that could mean it was a second marriage couldn't it?

Jill.

Hi Liverpool Lass,

Thanks for your email.  I came across Ellams in Liverpool who was born in Ince, Cheshire.  All the christian names were the same as my Ellams but I couldn't find a link.  Do yours include the Orrell lfamily?

Hi Peter, 

Yes, we have the same William and Mary Ellams.  I had a glance at your tree and notice you have quite a few Ellamses in it, but just like me, you haven't managed to get beyond William and Mary, they are my main line, and my brick wall at the moment, so if you ever get beyond William and Mary please let me know.

I have quite a few more Ellams names for you to add to your site. Do I log onto your site or what to pass them on?

Regards,
Jil.

Hi Daisy,

Sorry for delay in replying been away and on return got confused with the use of this site.

I'm beginning to think the same as you, but why is there no reference to his marriage to Mary? 

I have been in touch with other Lightfoot researchers but no one seems to know of William Ellams and Ellen Lightfoot. 

He was getting on a bit if it was a first-time marriage, maybe he was very very fussy.

Hi Peter,

Sorry for delay in replying, apart from being away for a few days, I couldn't find your reply, I'm probaby being a little dim here as I only managed to find it through 'search'.  I haven't got the hang of this site yet.

Re William & Mary Ellams: As you said, on 1841 census it shows Joseph 1837.  He is the son of Ellen Ellams (dau. of William & Mary).  He was born illigitimately.  Ellen b. 1817 married 8 years later to John Lockett.

Mary Ellams b.1837 also mentioned on same census is a mystery so far, I can't find anything on her.

I have a copy of William's Will which mentions Mary, his wife. Also a daughter named Mary, but surely it couldn't be Mary 1837 as that would mean wife, Mary, was 55 when pregnant.

I haven't managed to find a William Ellams of Runcorn.

I would dearly love to find siblings of William but no-can-do without his birth or marriage certs.  Is there any way you can help please?

Jill.
