Emily Ellis 1883-1978

Emily Bellamy (née Ellis) 1883-1978

Another photograph from the family collection, identified by my mother.

This photograph has a date stamp on the reverse of "23 Apr 1", exasperatingly the year falls off the edge of the photograph! Did photographic studios purposely do this knowing it would drive future researchers insane!

Emily BELLAMY (née ELLIS) 1883-1978 was my last surviving maternal great grandparent. She was born on the 23rd of July, 1883 and lived well into her nineties, passing away on the 2nd of October, 1978 at Middlewood Hospital, Sheffield.

My records show George Albert BELLAMY, a bachelor, age 21 and a 'File Cutter' by profession, residing at Quality Road, Sheffield, Yorkshire, married Emily ELLIS, on the 6th of October, 1901. The marriage ceremony was conducted by H A Goodwin after the reading of Banns at St John the Baptist Church, Owlerton, Sheffield.

George's father is recorded as Joseph BELLAMY and his father's profession that of 'File Cutter'. The Witnesses were Frank ELLIS and Mabel Louise ELLIS.

Note: 1 Frank ELLIS is most likely the uncle of Emily BELLAMY (née ELLIS), since I have found a marriage record for a Frank ELLIS and a Mabel Louise HUMPHRIES in 1899.

Note: 2 On the same day that Frank ELLIS and Mabel Louise HUMPHRIES were married, I have found a record of marriage between one John Arthur BELLAMY and one Elizabeth SHELDON. Neither of these individuals feature in my GEDCOM so this is probably worth researching at a later date.
