Convict Notes
Additionally Carol, my father's sister was Eadie Axton.. I'm hoping that is our connection. Jo Townsend (nee Ellis)
This was my great grandfather. His son John, was my grandfather. John had 22 children, my father Gordon Trevor Ellis was the youngest child. Born in 1916 died 1999. I have all the names of his children. My siblings and I have returned to Silkston in Yorkshire and found Daniel's fathers grave. I have documents showing Catherine crime, prositution and stealing from the old Bailey. Quite interesting reading!
re Daniel's wife Catherine: Miles, can you confirm Catherine's identity please? On the birth index for 1st two children, John & Harriett she is just listed as Catherine. On William's she is Catherine Jones and on Mary Ann's she is Catherine Thorpe. Do you have actual marriage cert? Is Catherine the Catherine Kent who came out on the Garland Grove? You could send me a message on 'Community' or my Facebook direct. Look forward to clearing up conflicting research.
