It fil...A great piece of work, Kurt, and thank you! It fills in a lot of gaps in my knowledge. Montague Arden was my one of great-great-grandfather William John Sharman Ellis's younger brothers. Another brother, Henry James Ellis(1822-56), emigrated to Australia in 1852. He died in 1856 leaving a young family who were taken in by a kind family and survived and prospered. Yet another brother, John Chapelle Ellis, went to Calcutta...a restless lot. Three generations later, another wave of Ellises went to Australia, many cousins there today.... The furthest back we've managed to trace the Ellises is to Reuben, a Welsh seafarer who lived in Deptford, on the Thames, and who married Harriet Shrigley in 1785. William (above) is the son of Reuben Ellis's second son John William Ellis (1789-1851, a Londoner who is buried in Nunhead Cemetery, Southwark. William lived mainly in Yorkshire and Lancashire, and managed a chemical factory. Richard Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471816509453170160noreply@blogger.com
