Ellen S BOUGHTON and George PEACOCK

[Milliepede]

There's an Ellen Sarah Jones living Kangaroo Flat Bendigo on the 1903 1906 electoral register but appreciate Jones is a common name.

I would say the E Roll finding is correct for  Ellen JONES (nee BOUGHTON)
Numerous items about her say she lived at Melbourne Rd, Kanga Flat, and that is the address on the roll.

It is not the address of Happy CODIGA who in 1903 was at Emu Greek with one Joseph CODIGA.

There is a coroners inquest deposition entry 17 May 1899

John Wells
Melbourne Road

With an Ellen Sarah Jones mentioned as a witness to a shooting. 

Buried Kangaroo Flat public cemetery

So was she divorced from John Wells or not actually married to William Jones = confused!

In reply#15 haney directed us to information-

The John WELLS of the 1899 suicide was Ellen's son.

Ellen was named as the widow of William JONES and his drowning death was in 1893.

I have not seen a marriage to JONES, so common-law wife perhaps.
Maybe John WELLS senior was not definitely deceased, so a marriage was not possible.

I feel a bit sad to see that the likely Ellen JONES seems to be buried without others of her family at the Eaglehawk Cemetery,

Date Oct 24th 1910
Location Sect Mon K4
Grave 274

The Victorian Death index shows her birth as 1824 and parents unknown. #14227

The Bendigo Cemetery Deceased search does not allow for search by location, so it is difficult to clearly ascertain whether there are others known to her at that location , or whether it is a public, state-funded burial.

The Cemetery trust would be able to help perhaps.

Hello everyone.  My goodness thank you for all of the snips of information.  I will put it all in a timeline and take it from there.  I am including here the inquest of Ellen's son John.  Hope that is okay, on page 6 she mentions "3 other son's".   Hmmm, Happy not mentioned.  I'm not happy with her, not taking care of her mum!

I'm just looking over all of your wonderful replies!  If this is Ellen on the 1903/1906 Electoral rolls at least now I know she is not the ELLEN JONES that died in 1901! 

Is JOHN WELLS buried in Kangaroo Flat Public Cemetery??  I will have to find a good map to see the distances between Kangaroo Flat and Eaglehawk cemetery (for Ellen's burial) if that is her death in 1910.

I wouldn't imagine that there would be anything in the newspaper for her death, poor thing was alone.  Jones was deceased, Son was deceased.  Other son's in the Colonies.  LOL. 

I'm hoping that there maybe a record re the Benevolent society, they seemed to be giving her a "couple of shillings"  Anyway this is wonderful, slowly getting there.

It is another mystery to me also why she Ellen BOUGHTON is not on the 1841 Census with her DAD, Elijah.  Elijah and son Frederick are together! on the 1841 Frederick ended up an "Architect" interestingly.

Perhaps Ellen was living with other family members OR perhaps in service or working for someone until her marriage to George Peacock.  All good.  Many thanks Dianna

John WELLS snr had departed in one way or another by 1868 when Ellen had this child.

5339 / 1868
JONES  William Henry 
At SANDHURST
Ellen Sarah BOUGHTON
Father William Henry

Happy named a son George Walter.  Seems odd she used her father's names though she did not ever know him yet seemed distant from her mother.

Unless the name came from her half-brother of the same given names- George Walter WELLS.

HI Sue
     Wow another son!  Well that will be the "3 Son's" Ellen refers to in the other colonies.  She would have been about 44 when the last son was born.  Also the guy on the immigration record is Joseph Augustus HENRIQUES, who Ellen apparently worked for 5 months possibly.  If that is the same person re Ellen Sarah PEACOCK. What a story this has turned out to be.

Yes now we know John Wells snr has taken off/died/in another State??? c 1867/8!

 Many thanks Dianna

I wonder if the death of a JOHN WELLS in 1866 with no information could be him!  3059/1866! No parents etc aged 58?  Supposedly John WELLS in a 40 year old Widower in 1854 when he married Ellen S Peacock. 

1863 CHARLES WELLS born
 
1864 MARY WELLS dies aged 6 in Sandhurst Mother ELLEN BOWDEN Father JOHN.

1866 JOHN WELLS snr dies

1868 William Henry JONES Born?  Hmmm Interesting.
