Many thanks. It looks like my Harry married Ellen and died in 1941.

I know its been a while, but I am still trying to find out more information about Harry's wife, Ellen Brown.

So far I know she was born in Chelsworth, Cosford, Suffolk in 1857 to John BROWN and Mary Ann WHYATT.

The 1861 and 1871 censuses found her living with her parents in Chelsworth, aged 3 and 14. By the 1881 census she was working as a servant in the KILTON household in Ipswich.

I then lose her until her marriage to Harry in 1902, which took place at Romford RO. She was then aged 37 and a spinster. I have wondered why the marriage was at a RO rather than a church. Was one of them trying to conceal a previous marriage?

I would like to know where Ellen was in 1891 and 1901.
