Ellen Harvey (née Chapman)

[Heatha]

Ellen Chapman married Ellis Harvey on 19th May 1894 at the Parish Church, High Wycombe. She was born in Wycombe about 1871.

In the 1901 census she is living with her husband at West Street, Great Marlow, together with their son, Ellis, aged 5. Son Ellis was born on 27th February 1896 (South Bucks Standard - Friday 6th March 1896) and baptised at All Saints on 5th April 1896.

In the 1911 census Both Ellises, father and son, are living at 403a High Road, Willesden. Ellis senior is a widower.

The number of children born during the marriage is 4, 3 of whom had died. According to the census Ellis and Ellen had been married for 9 completed years. So, according to this, her death would have occurred in about 1905. Thank goodness that he filled in these details erroneously.

I cannot find a death which matches her age, which would be roughly 34. Neither can I find the birth of the fourth child. I have Ellis baptised 19th May 1895 - buried 2nd August 1895, aged 5 months, and Maria, born 20th July 1897, baptised 5th September 1897 - buried 22nd September 1898, aged 14 months.

If anyone can help find Ellen's death or the fourth child I would be most grateful.

Thank you both so much. I need to understand the areas covered by the London region registration districts. My knowledge of London is abysmal.

Thank you again. I think my mystery is solved.
