Edward ELLIS

[charles ellis]

I am looking for Edward Ellis's Father and Mother. St Andrew Ilketshall Suffolk is where he stated on his census he was born ( 1790 ). Maybe he was registered in Lowestoft or Ipswich Suffolk.

Any help would be fantastic.

Thank you,
Charles Ellis

Welcome to Rootschat.
There is an Edward Ellis DOB 18/6/1793 BAP 20/6/1793 born Lowestoft-Father Edward Mother Frances Wales. This is on FreeREG. There is also a death for an Edward Ellis aged 68 years Buried 5/9/1861 Lowestoft whose Widow was Anne Elizabeth. This may be your ancestor, but you will need to do some more checks.
regards.

Thank you, both show on the 1841 and 1851 census. I think I need to locate a parish record or birth cert. appreciate your effort

There will not be a birth certificate; civil registration did not start until 1837.

Thank you NannyJan, so I am wondering how do I verify Edwards parents to move forward. I have all but birt records for him?

When did Edward marry?  You might find a family member shown as witness or, if of some standing in the parish, he might be noted as "son of......".

Have you looked at 1841/1851 census records for elderly parents living with Edward or nearby?

Edward married Mary Thurlow 1814 in Alburgh Norfolk. I have census from 1841,51,61,71,81, probate records with his son In-law and son Samuel as executors and the death record that states his burial in St John Ilketshall Suffolk. I have all his children and baptism records from 1814 to 1840. And most of the children's records.

I have found on other of my trees grandson visiting the grandfather on a census and that was the only hint to moving forward, so yes that can happen, not with Edward thou.

So far 2 years looking and no indication of who his parents are!

Taken from a transcript of Ilketshall St Andrew parish register.

Edward s/o Thomas and Rebecca Ellis (late Bird) baptised 14th February 1790

Ilketshall St Margaret (from transcript):

James s/o Thomas and Rebecca Ellis, date unclear, 1793 (had relief)
Jane d/o Thomas and Rebecca Ellis mn Bird, born 27th June, baptised 1st July 1798
Robert s/o Thomas and Rebecca Ellis born 24th Dec 1800, baptised 11th Jan 1801

John s/o Thomas and Rebecca Ellis, mn Bird, buried 25th May 1794 aged 12 years (had relief)

I checked all the Ilketshalls, the South Elmhams, Bungay, Shipmeadow, Barsham and Ringsfield for a marriage c.1782 and any baptisms in the intervening years but couldn't see anything useful.

Thank you annes! Appreciate your help.

I have two questions. 1. What site/program did you use, so i can look this up? 2. In brackets (had relief) what does that mean?

I am currently using ancestry.ca

Thank,
Charles
