Barnsley to Finland
« on: Sunday 27 March 22 22:36 BST (UK) »
Hi All
I am new here. I am trying to trace relatives of my great grandmother Hylia Nell (married name Robinson). She was born in Finland about 1881. I believe she maybe the daughter of Laura Nell, who was the daughter of William and Sarah Nell who lived in Finland for nearly 25 years from 1867. William was a weaving master.
My grandparents always said that Hilia's father died when his sleigh went through the ice. I am not sure if this is correct. I would be very grateful for any information. Thanks in advance.

Or might she be "Ellie Nell", daughter of William and Sarah, born Finland circa 1881/2, who appears in the 1891 census?

The 1901 marriage record isn't much help. Father simply described as "deceased".

William Nell, aged 59, .... died suddenly in Joseph-street on Tuesday. Had been manager of a linen factory in Finland, and later a farmer at Knaresborough. “Died from natural causes.”

Ah no I see that Ellie married someone else in 1902. So not her.
