Hi Mum44

thanks very much. not only have you provided info on Nora and her family or Bessie as she shows up on the census as - but you've also solved the mystery of where my ggdad's sister - Elizabeth Newman went. It appears that Nora married her 1st cousin - Harold Sydney Newman - the son of George Augustus Newman (b) freshford 1848. what a small world we live in.. thanks so much

Best wishes

Nora Bessie Victoria ELLY was my 2nd cousin twice removed.  Not exactly close but it does mean that we share ancestors back along.
As you know her parents were William & Elizabeth nee NEWMAN
William ELLY was the son of James & Harriet nee STEVENS
James ELLY was the son of William & Martha nee GRANT (my 3 x great grandparents)
William ELLY was the son of Isaac & Susanna nee BUTLER

At that point I'm stuck - they are in the Charlcombe/Swainswick area but I don't know where Isaac ELLY was born.
