Hi I'm looking for any information on Ellen Merchant born about 1887 in Nottingham. 

She married John Arthur Jenkinson my grandfather on 18 September 1908 and was living at 148 Nottingham Road at that time.  Her father was Robert Bailey Merchant b Nottingham.  She also had a sister Elsie Mary Merchant born in 1892 Sept qtr

Robert Bailey Merchant married Annie Cotterill at Nottingham St Andrews 29/06/1886.

Can't see a baptism for Ellen but there is one for Elsie Mary to this couple at Nottingham St Ann 28/08/1892. Elsie's dob is given as 17/07/1892 and they were living at 2 Ford Street, Robert working as a warehouseman.

I was hoping someone may be tracing this line,  hoping to find living relatives. 

Ellen married my grandfather John Arthur Jenkinson.  My Gran Dorothy Irene Pugh known as Jenkinson wasnt his wife, they just lived together!!  They had four children, I'm hoping to follow the line to the present day if possible.  I'm unsure how to do that, so any pointers would be useful.
