From: "Leslie and Jesse Ellis" > Date: Sat Oct 26, 2002 2:19 pm Subject: Ellis Family Tavistock/Lamerton Devon I am looking for two remaining siblings of an ancestor and am hoping someone here can help: They are: John Ellis born; 1849 Scrubton Lamerton Devon and George Ellis born; 1869 Lamerton Devon The family lore is that John may have come to America (Perhaps around Pennsylvania, but this is nothing but a big "maybe") George, according to the same "lore", stayed in England and became a minister. He married a woman named "Jane". Any matches or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Not a huge surprise. SO if someone on the list who has access to this information would be so kind, I am seeking a George Ellis who was supposed to have become a minister. Here is all that I know: George Ellis b August 26, 1869 in Lamerton Devon Son of Samuel Ellis and Hannah Burridge I would be most grateful if someone would reference this in the above- mentioned books. And thank you Stuart, for your helpful reply! Leslie Ellis
According to Muriel Hall (nee Burrows) Harriet had a grocery and sweet shop in Lichfield Street, Willenhall. She made her own pork pies, for which she was well known, and her own ice-cream. Muriel used to go to the shop every Friday to collect her mother's (Gladwys Burrows) grocery. The shop later moved to Fisher Street in Willenhall. Harriet eventually lost her sight.
