Ellis Families Runcorn Cheshire

[garstonite]

My Grandmother was Martha Ellis.......there was and still is a massive family of Ellis in Garston...literally over the water from Runcorn / Frodsham / Overton...and there was a ferry from Withins Way , Hale Village over to Runcorn in the 1700`s...I am not joking when I say that there is a strong possibility we could have the same Ancestors..my earliest is Edward Ellis b 1799 in Garston.....children
Ann
Mary
William
Elizabeth
Alice
Joseph

garstonite   hi allan,thanks for the reply. the info about garston struck a nerve. i got out my gf &gm  marriage lic and my fathers birth cert. the marriage was in 1904 and b 1907. the listed addr on both documents was 97 st marys road garston. i did not know they moved from widnes  to garston. b/4 coming to the us. the possibility of being related is strong as you said. if you could give me some dates and places on your gm i can try a trace. small world ?  les

Alan, I have been helping Les with his Ellis family research and I am enjoying the exchange with the two of you. Is there a  church/cemetery where the Ellis family buried their people? Did they have a family plot and does the sexton of the cemetery have a register for burials? If so, who would Les contact to get information on Ellis and other surname burials? Any chance you have a digital camera and could take pictures of grave markers and email them to him? Many times those grave markers offer genealogical information to connect to other family members. Thank you for your input and help!  Marilyn

garstonite  hi allan,sorry to have taken so long to respond. i was able to locate all your people. i have been trying to make family groups to try to get the connection between our families.then got sidetracted by personal problems. i believe the connection has to be somewhere between frodsham and garston. i have to leave home tomorrow for sandpoint idaho for a funeral and visit with my wifes 88 year old mother. expect to be gone a week. if all gets calmed down will hit the programs again. hope all is well with you.  les
