    Default Still searching for Ellen Robertson

    I am still searching for my Great grandma Ellen Robertson. I have now got her on the 1911 census which says she was born in Liverpool . She was born in 1884 but I can't find a birth for her and I can't find her on the 1891 or 1901 census. All I know about her is that she married in 1902 in Sheffield and her fathers name was william. Can anyone help. Thanks

    regards Beacon

    Hello

    Do you have anymore information on Ellen ROBERTSON please, b 1883/1885 Liverpool Lancs

    I am thinking from the marriage certificate, her father is William, what was his employent and who were the witnesses to the marriage and was Ellen living in Sheffield at the time of her marriage?

    I can find Ellen ROBERTSON's of Liverpool, but not with a father William.....

    Hi,
    There is a Helen Robertson born 1884 in West Derby, which is or was a suburb(?) of Liverpool. I put Ellen Robertson born 1880 - 1890 Liverpool in the Free BMD and no Ellen Robertson comes up. Try the West Derby Helen and see what comes up.

    There are 2 Ellen Robertson's marrying in 1902 that come up with the Liverpool & Sheffield areas. The West Derby Helen/Ellen got married in West Derby and the Ellen in Sheffield. At the moment I can't find the West Derby Ellen's father.

    Hi,
    Thanks for all replies, on her marriage certificate which I have her father is William Robertson deceased upholsterer. She married James William Hughes on Christmas Day 1902 in Sheffield, their witnesses were James Williams sister Sarah Ann and her husband . I presume she was in Sheffield at the time of marriage but not really sure. Just one niggle I was told that when she died there was some confusion about her first name they thought it may have actually been Nellie but it does say Ellen on the marriage certificate.

    Regards beacon
