Alfred Stanley Ellis - Passenger between UK and Canada, born September 1891

[donut 2]

Thanks Don - since the address in London and the birth date are the same, I just think that Alfred Ellis did not give a true account of his occupation in wartime London, given he was working for the Canadian Government.

Obituary for Mildred Anna Ellis in the Globe and Mail newspaper, 16 July 1984, page M5.  It says that Mildred died on July 14 1984 in Aurora, in her 92nd year.  A longtime Windsor resident.  Mildred Ellis, nee Kell, wife of the late Alfred Stanley Ellis, OBE.    Doesn't appear to be any children...just lists her sister Ethel Hutcheson and her niece and nephew.  Also says she was a wartime Aunt of M Towers Ronson.  Interment Victoria Memorial Cemetery.

This might help... looks like the "sister" mentioned in Mildred's obit is actually Alfred's sister.

Obituary for Ethel Alzora Hutcheson, nee Ellis, in the Globe and Mail on 18 March 1989, page A12.  It says Ethel died at the Christie Park Nursing Home (I assume this is in Toronto) on 16 March 1989, in her 100th year.  Wife of the late John Milne Hutcheson.  Mother of Bruce and his wife Maisie, mother of Anna.  Grandchildren and Great grandchildren listed.  Predeceased by her brother Alfred Stanley Ellis O.B.E. and sister Pansy Cross.   Interment Park Lawn Cemetery.

Thanks for all this info JJ - could you tell me when he died and if it is possible for me to look up his Obituary somewhere.  I am hoping that might tell me what he got up to in the war in order to earn his OBE. Regards Tunod

The obituary index for the Windsor Star newspaper (available through the Windsor Public Library site) says that the obituary for Alfred Stanley Ellis, husband of Mildred, is in the 6 March 1962 edition.

Perhaps you can contact the library for a look up.

Just had a quick look in the 1941 directory.  Strangely, there are TWO A. Stanley Ellis listings!!  One of the Stanleys works for the C.N.R. (Canadian National Railway). His address is 638 Glengarry Ave, apt 6.   The other is the one is A. Stanley Ellis (Mildred A), dept hd Fords, home 2127 Victoria Avenue.

Perhaps 1941 was an error? 

In the 1939 directory, there is one Alfred S Ellis and he is married to Mildred. He works at Fords, address 2127 Victoria Ave.     

1940, only one A. Stanley (Mildred A) Ellis, srv mgr Ford's, home 2127 Victoria Ave. 

1942 has one Alfred S (Mildred) Ellis, home 2239 Pellisier (There is no occupation given). 

In all of these directories, there is an Alfred M, married to Abenieta and works for the CNR.  He appeared in the 1941 directory with the two "A. Stanley" listings, so he isn't the second man.

I don't see the second A Stanley Ellis in other directories around 1941.
