Ellis Families Runcorn Cheshire

[caswellm]

My Ellis family resided in the Runcorn District from the 1700's into the late 1800's when the area became part of Lancashire England.  I am hoping to share information and find maiden names of some of my female ancestors.

Given names for the men: Joseph, Samuel, Charles, John and James were passed on from generation to generation.

Other surnames linked with the Ellis families were: Ratcliffe, Hignett, Williams and LLoyd.  Any help or direction will be appreciated.  Thanks, Les

Just to say that Runcorn has never been in Lancashire  Runcorn is in the county of Cheshire.

Les, I know that we have talked before, but can't remember what info I've given you. I have your Ellis family back to Samuel and Margaret Ellis and son, Joseph, bp 20 Jul 1800 in Frodsham. Joseph was a tailor and married Martha?.  Children: Charles, John, Margaret, Samuel and Hannah.
Son Charles married Ann?. Charles also a tailor and lived in Weston. Children: John,, James, Sarah Ann and Joseph.

Joseph married Sarah Ratcliffe who was sister of my 2xGreat Grandfather, Thomas Ratcliffe.

Let me know if I didn't give you all this already.

Hi Les,
This can be solved very easily by getting one of their childrens Birth Certs.
This is the first Census they appear together on;
1851 Census
Overton, Cheshire
HO107/2164/619/22

Charles ELLIS, 29
Ann, 28
John, 3
James, 1

This is the only possible marriage I can find.

Marriage frpm FreeBMD;
Charles ELLIS, June 1846, Warrington, 20 837
On the same page is Ann WORRALL

1841 Census has a Ann Worrall age 15 ( 1841 ages were rounded) in Weston, Runcorn, Cheshire a Female Servant in the Sweetman household.
HO107/95/28/Runcorn

This is just a possibility.
You really need a childs Birth Cert to complete this for you.

Cheers,
Trish

trish 1120.  thank you for the information regarding ann worrall. i was able to track her down after some try's. everything seems to fall in place. I did order a copy of the her death certificate, to confirm the information. but it still has not come in. that is why i did not respond eariler. your info also aided my finding the death of their son john. now i am attempting to find earlier relatives. maybe i can find an active family tree. it appears they were mostly in cheshire or close by.  thanks again les
by the way, where are you located? i am in the state of washington, usa.
