Trying to find information on Ellen Drake b1850 England
« on: Monday 30 November 15 10:41 GMT (UK) »
I can not find any more family history on my 2nd great aunt Ellen Drake daughter of James Drake and Harriet nee Cooper after 1871 census, Ipswich Suffolk. Her occupation was a Tailoress.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like she could be the Ellen Kate who married William Hunt in 1877.

1881 Census confirms Ellen was born Ipswich at relevant time and there is only your Ellen birth listed then.   Either she was actually baptised with a second name or added it herself.

Thank you all very much. I suppose the only way I will find out is to send for a marriage certificate. I will research all the replies and go from there.
Thank you all.
