Hi Gillian.
So pleased things might me dropping into place for you. The description given for John says retired school master.
On the 1901 census which shows John & Sarah - one of the children is John Ellwood age 11 years.
The Egremont Cemetery records show a John Ellwood buried 31/8/1941 who died at Carlisle Infirmary, age 49 years & who lived at 7 Fearon Street in a grave purchased by a Dorothy Darby of that household. John was listed as a widower at that time.
Referring back to the death of Reginald Ellwood, the grave was purchased by a William Hodgson of 12 Penzance Street. Moor Row. (Collier)
The 1901 census for John & Sarah Ellwood shows a Mary Ann Ellwood born at Little Clifton in 1891. In June 1915 a Mary Ellwood married a William Hodgson at Whitehaven (10b 1456)
Interestingly, another burial which sticks out is for a George Hodgson 17/4/1920 of 12 Penzance Street. Moor Row. In a grave purchased by William Hodgson. The reference for this is:- Section L Con Grave 42.
This address would appear to be compatible with the burials 24/4/1907 of Wilfred Ellwood & 7/8/1907 of Jane Ellwood. Must be the same family.
Best Wishes.
Sandra
