Hi,
I am not in Ancestry now, so if someone would be kind enough, there are 2 Ellen Curtis records, one from Brazil to the UK and another from the UK to South Africa.
There are on the UK incoming list and the UK Outgoing list.

I fortunately have my fathers marrige certificate.

However, I am desperate to establish where my grandmther was born be it SA or UK and her birth certificate. This is what I am requiring as I was always told she came out from the UK as a 10 year old child.

Many thanks indeed thus far..

There is an entry for Mr, Mrs and Miss Curtis - leaving Southampton with destination East London - 5 November 1906 "Barbarossa".  However Miss Curtis is said to be aged 12 and over.

Sorry, more than one vessel listed  ::)  Union Castle Line "Armadale Castle" leaving Southampton 3 November 1906.

Clara and "Elizabeth Ellen" are on the 1911 census - Tiverton.

She's in Twerton near Bath,not Tiverton  ;D

Baptised as Ellen Elizabeth,seems she likes to swop her names round.

Name:    Ellen Elizabeth Curtis
Baptism Date:    20 Nov 1892
Father:    Henry James Curtis
Mother:    Clara Curtis
