Trying to find Ellen Hender b 1847 Plymouth
« on: Wednesday 11 September 24 12:45 BST (UK) »
I have a query regarding an ancestor Ellen Hender b 1847 Plymouth who is an enigma . On the Ancestry website Ellen was a g g aunt whose Parents where Thomas Hender b 1808 stretton devon and a mary ashton hender b 1808 welcombe devon. On some websites it says Ellen Married a james Toms of devon.. but i have doubts here . So if anyone could assist me in the search i would be grateful thanks .

Was her father a Watchmaker?

The marriage to James Toms lists her father as Thomas Hender, Watchmaker

Have you checked this death
Ellen Hender
Age 4
Burial 1852 Stoke Dameral Devon

If I have the correct family Ellen is with them on the 1852 Census but missing on the 1861 census

Hello
There's a burial at Stoke Dameral
Ellen Hender 9.1.1852 age 4  14 Waterloo St died 6th

That is the address the family are at in 1851 ,so it does look like her.

Sorry you beat me too it

Well done everyone , looks like you have nailed it . On the 1851 census Thomas Hender Head b 1808 has his Wife Mary , dau Eliz , Son John and Ellen aged 3 but after that she dissappears off the census's . So looks like she died . I have been mixing my Ellen with the Ellen that married James toms .. so must alter my f tree on Ancestry . Thanks everyone for this help.
