Ellen Gregory (formally Parrett, nee Press)
« on: Wednesday 05 July 23 13:03 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have a photo of Ellen I could have a copy of? She was born Press in 1887 in the Wolverhampton area and married George Parrett in 1914 in Wolverhampton. She had 4 children, Norman (1915) Ellen M. (1916) and twins Marjore and Norah in 1918. George died in 1918. Ellen re-married in 1930 to Benjamin James Gregory and was still living in Wolverhampton in 1948. I have a photo of Benjamin James Gregory but I am not sure if he is with his first wife (Emily who died 1929) or with Ellen. A photo of Ellen would help me with the problem. Thank you in advance

allang, why do you believe that Ellen was born in 1889 in London. The 1939 war register would indicate a dob of 29.1.1887.

Her birth

PRESS, ELLEN       mother's maiden name ROGERS 
GRO Reference: 1887  M Quarter in WOLVERHAMPTON  Volume 06B  Page 545

She appears in 1921 census as a widow born 1887 in Wolverhampton with her 4 children.

Thank you John - Slip of the finger when typing which made me look up the wrong person. I did not know of the Ellen M (b 1916). A search on BMD for the children of Parrett with mmn Press only shows the 3 children I mentioned.

BMD have indexed it as

Parrett Ellen M    Pr(e_)ss

so if you were looking for Parrett/Press specifically it wouldn't have come up.
