David Ellis... where is he?!!

[archer06]

Hi, Am hoping someone can help as i am slowly going insane as i can't find one of my Ellis rellies!!

My GG father was a David Ellis born 1875-77. Supposedly in Penmaenmawr. I have his 1901 census record, although by then he was in Essex and his marriage certificate.

If anyone could help me find him in other census records, or his birth i would be grateful.

His father was called John, and was a labourer. He had died by the time of Davids marriage in '97.

Thanks!!!

Hi

The 1881 census is free to search at www.familysearch.org

There are 3 David Ellis entries who were b Caenarvon in that age range but none specifically in Penmaenmawr.  However - 2 of the entries have a second christian name which your David doesn't seem to have

This is a possible entry but as mum was a widow - it doesn't help much at the moment

Well Street Nevin, Caernarvon - all b Nevin
   
 
John JONES 73  Retired Mariner
Margaret  72 
Fanny ELLIS widow   37  daughter Dress Maker
William  9  Grandson
David  6  Grandson
John  3  Grandson

Ref RG11    Piece 5561    Folio 62    Page 23

I'll check the 1871 for you

The 1871 doesn't help at all - Fanny is shown as a mariners wife but her husband was John Ellis and here is their marriage

Marriages Mar quarter 1868   
 
Ellis  John    Pwllheli  Volume 11b Page 590   
Jones  Fanny     

This is the full 1871 entry for Mill St Nevin - all b Nevin

Fanny Ellis 26
Margaret 3
William 5 months
Jane Jones boarder 21
Mary Jones boarder 15

Living either in the same household or next door were this couple

David Ellis 69 master mariner b Caernarvon Llan?
Mary 64 b Caernarvon Pistill

hi

have trawled through the welsh and essex census' so far to no avail.

I came across the ones you did, but as it says mariner, i assume its not the one. Oh well, one day i will find him. Think all my Welsh rellies are elusive!

Thanks for looking.

Not sure if I'm missing anything here but Penmaenmawr is the other side of the county from Pwllheli. The registration district would be with Dwygyfylchi - i.e Conway.

i went like  when i found him. Ordered the certificate....  certificate arrived. Tis not my David Ellis.

[Gadget]

If he was born Penmaenmawr it would definitely be a Conway registration.

Yep.... It certainly looks like it says penmaenmawr on his 1901 record, and my Dad it pretty sure they came from North Wales.

Do you know if there is a way to look at the proper certificate records, and not the index?
