The Ellington family in 1841 consisted of father Henry George, Mother Thomasin and four children, but on the 1841 Census it is only the children that appear ( with other families) at an address of :
Albert street Chester Lane, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland
The children are :Lavinia 18yrs, Henry 14 yrs, Thomas 9yrs ( who in 1853 married a Joplin ?),
Peter 7yrs.
Father was at that time a Master Mariner, maybe wife had gone with him, leaving the children _ where
Cannot find the family on the 1851 Census, or deaths for parents.
Before I was searching Tammy Goodsir ( widow Tillman) - Mother above is Tammy's daughter by first
marriage ( Just found that
Tammy had managed to marry her off in 1821 in Exmouth (Devon )to
the Mate of the 'Seaflower' Sunderland, before she (Tammy ) married Thomas Goodsir Master of
the'Transfer' in 1822.
NOTE : For Reference this is a continuation of
'The Goodsir Family ' on
Northumberland Site due to the fact that people concerned lived in Sunderland.
So I am searching for any information on Henry George Ellington and Family Please and also your Architect - John Tillman, so see if there was a link between his family and the Devon Tillmans ( have already found ( with a great deal of help from Westoe) quite a bit on his father, all of which is on the Northumberland site.
Best
John
