His parents names where Sarah and Willam Challis ( dont know dates ) . He maried Ellen Moore  she was born circa 1868. Any information would be greatly appreciated .. not much is known as they immigrated here to canada in the earliy 1900s .

This could possibly be her , as I do have I for from my myheritage family site that they were in streatly  at one point.   My great grandfather would have been born in 83 . The nexed census iI found was in 1901 and Ellen  and albert john were married  andthere son ( my great grand father ) was already 18 . They were living in maidenhead .
