Brilliant...Worton is a keyword here...I'm pretty sure the Ellises are Wiltshire Ellises and Winifred's connection with Liverpool is simply going there to give birth to Maxwell Francis Jones...

There was a marriage between Winifred Jones and Harry L Ellis in Ormskirk (near Liverpool) in Mar Quarter of 1916.  The L could stand for Lot  :-\

You can order copy certs for anyone's birth, marriage or death (as long as it was more than 50 years ago) through the General Register Office (GRO) for £9.25.

According to Lancashire BMD website the marriage took place at Ormskirk Register Office  ( or Registrar Attended)

Many thanks Carol...maybe Harry is his birth name...the question now is whether he is indeed a Wiltshire boy born and bred, as I (have) always thought, or whether the marriage between Winifred and Harry in Q1 1916 mentioned by another kind soul below is indeed the right pair / marriage, and Harry is a Scouser...

I can see now how one can spend months, years or a lifetime with this kind of research!

IF WE BELIEVE the 1901 census  Harry Lott Ellis b 1886 Worton,Devizes ,Wiltshire ...and the census was taken 31st March 1901 in Lavington,Worton ,Wilts ...so I would be 99% certain he was born in Worton ...or even Lavington ,Worton to be precise ...can someone post that census detail in full with Harry - parents - and siblings please ??
allan
added...not allowed to publish 1911 census ...but does anyone know what this stands for
Worton Potterne S O ...is this some type of military camp ???

I wondered if SO might just be someone's initials if a crossing out had been done on an official form?
