Completed ELLAMS 1890 Barnadoes Childrens home

[AnneMM]

Trying to track down information on Walter Ellams born abt 1890 and his parents.

I was told he was in a Barnadoes Home on Isle of Dogs and assumed he was an orphan. Now discovered that his father (Charles Ellams)died, but his mother (no name known) put him and brother (William) in home, but kept sister (Nelly - christened Ellen May) and remarried. She then apparently lived in Signalmen's house, Seaford Road, Fulham. Can't find her name anywhere.

Would like to find evidence of Walter and William in a Barnadoes home, but don't know how to find this information.

Also informed that Willaim emigrated to Canada or USA and wondered whether he was one of the children from homes in London who were sent abroad.

Thank you 
Anne

Hello Anne and Welcome to Rootschat 

Is he the Walter Ellams who aged 24 married Emily Jane Picken on Xmas day 1914?

His father was Charles Ellams a labourer.
The church was St Andrews Chelsea.he is listed as shop assistant and the address they both were staying at was 22 Callow Street.

The witnesses were Ellen May Ellams and Henry Edward Prime.

Sounds like he was still around the area and may appear on the 1911 census.

Ellen May Ellams married William Vincent on 8 Jun 1919 at St Oswald, Anselm Road,Hammersmith. The writing is impossible to read but I can seec that her dad was Charles Ellams,and that the witnesses were Walter Ellams and Emily Jane Ellams(his wife,nee Picken !)

Hi Carol
That's right that's him.  I just can't seem to find a definitive date of birth for him or anymore details of his parents or time in the childrens home.
Thank you for looking.

Not sure what happened to Charles

Walter Jackson Ellams (on the 1911 census according to the index) is in Kingston registration district. Surname is transcribe in the index as Ellarias. He is not in an institution.

You cannot request lookups from the 1911 census on Rootschat because of copyright reasons. You must search the census for yourself.
