Watson Ellis & Rachel Wood BRADFORD look up

[KevR]

Hi, I am trying to find some more details on Watson Ellis, son of Jane and Rachel Wood. Watson was born 1792 in Bradford, I don't have any details of Rachel's birth. They married on 13/5/1811 in Calverly. Any information on this couple would be gratefully recieved.

I am trying to find some more details on Watson Ellis, son of Jane and Rachel Wood

He was illegitimate and Rachel was his wife

WATSON ELLIS   Christening:  02 JAN 1793   Bradford, Yorkshire   
Mother:  JANE ELLIS 

WATSON ELLICE Spouse:  RACHEL WOOD   Marriage:  13 MAY 1811   Calverley, Yorkshire 
 
Rachel appears to have died before 1841 as Watson is only shown with daughter Sarah aged 15 in 1841

It's likely she died before 1837 as there is no Bradford death reg for her between 1837-1841

Thanks, I did not have Watson's christening date before, nor did I know about Sarah. I have two other children Ann Ellis and Mary Ellis. I am guessing there may be others. Now I need to find more about Jane, Watson's mother, and still try and obtain a little more on Rachael Wood. I do have other Wood families in my line from Sowerby so perhaps there is a link there. Thanks again.
