(hard to read 1st letter). my father joseph leslie ellis ,b 27 apr 1907 in garston, liverpool. i have certified copies of all birth certificates and the original marriage certificate in my possession.
2. my father and gf told me they left england around 1913 and went to canada and then to the states. i do not know how long they were in canada. my gf's 7 sisters brought their mother to the states "during the 1st world war". they settled in tacoma, washington by 1919.
3. the brothers and sisters ect i referred to were others in the line.
