My great aunt, Annie Kate Simmons married Walter Thomas Fitch in 1890 in Epping, Essex. They had four children, Arthur George 1891, Edgar Percy 1894, Reginald Alfred 1898, and Dorothy Kate 1901. Walter and his first wife Ellen had five children, Walter Thomas 1872, Mary M 1875, Richard Edward 1876, Frederick W 1879, Albert C 1880, and Ernest Paul 1881. Ellen died in 1883.
From the 1881 UK Census, we know that Ellen was born in 1853 in Dundalk, Louth, Ireland, but we do not have her maiden name. I've scoured the available digital resources (birth records etc.) and they all list her as "Ellen", but without a last name attached. If anyone here on RootsChat has information on this part of the Fitch family that might point in the right direction, or if someone might have a recommendation on how to find a birth record in Dundalk 1853 without a surname (good luck with that) I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.
