I'm hoping someone will pick up on this thread, I know it was written seven years ago!
Somewhere I have a photo of an Auntie May with her daughter Ellen. I think it might have been taken aboard a ship. As far as I know May was the sister of my great grandma 'Nellie Margaret' Davis, nee Ennis, or as she was baptised, Margaret Ellen. She was the daughter of Charles Alexander Ennis, and Agnes Dymphna Connelly. As far as I'm aware the Ennis family were based in India from quite early on in the 1800's.
