I have been lurking on this list for some time now and thought it was
about time I posted my interests.If anybody has any info. or think there
is any connection I'd love to hear from them.

My great grandfather was a JOHN ELLIS who I believe was born in Trimley
St Martin on 1st December 1840. He married LUCY LILLISTONE on 28th
October 1864. She was also born in Trimley St Martin on 24th November
1846.

So far I have been unable to find birth certificates for both Lucy and
John. I have been to the Family History Centre and looked in the indexes
for at least 10 years either side. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME ON THIS ONE. I
know that John's father was also John Ellis and his mother was HARRIET.
I believe she was left a widow quite early and was left to bring up 3
boys (John and William I think and another brother who I believe moved
to Wales). Lucy's father was a JOHN LILLISTONE and her mother a LUCY
VERSEY. I think John L. was left a widower before 1871 and that he
remarried. I know that at one point he and his second wife lived in a
cottage on "the left side of Ipswich Road at the entrance to LEVINGTON
HEATH, part of the Orwell Estate where my great grandfather worked for
some years before moving with some of his family in 1888 to Ardleigh in
Essex, where he died in 1932.

Other info. I know is that John and Lucy had 11 children:

Harriet (b. 01.04.1865 in Trimley St Mary) Moved to Goole in E.Yorkshire
Charles (b. 28.03.1867 in Trimley St Mary) Moved to Brightlingsea
Horace John (b. 10.03.1869 in TSM) Moved to Ardleigh in Essex
James Arthur (b. 21.03.1871 in Trimley St Mary) Stayed in Kirton
Emily Kate (b. 16.03.1873. Moved to Pimlico in London
Annie (b. 12.03.1875 in Kirton). Moved to Ipswich
George Frederick (b. 27.11.1877 in Kirton) Moved to Beamish in Co.
Durham
Harry (b. 30.12.1879 in Kirton). Moved to Ardleigh
Ada Elizabeth (b. 12.02.1882 in Kirton) Moved to Ardleigh
Jessie (b. 02.07.1885 in Kirton) Moved to Chelmsford
PERCY (b. 14.08.1888 in Kirton) Moved to Beamish and then Goole - my
grandpa
