Ancestor from Malta born 1850's

Hang on just realised something - if Mary was a widow when she married my GGG Grandfather William Banks and gave her name as Mary Humphries (when her parents names are Ellul) then that suggests she had already married a man by the name of Humphries who had died?

...But she was only 20 odd when she married my William?

The 1873 baptism can be found in the "Armed Forces Roman Catholic Registers" on FindMyPast

Hi All

2 years on from the last post, I'd love to find out more about Mary's parents, Charles and Caroline Ellul of Malta. I have nothing to suggest they ever left Malta so how do I go about locating any details a good start would be their daughter Mary's birth in Malta ?

Or indeed why she was a widow at 20 odd years old?

I'm guessing she was born Maria and her parents were Carlo and Carolina?

Thanks
