Ernest b 1905

all in Croxley Green, Hertfordshire

I dont know where Alice fits in and cant find her birth or death, can any one help please

HI Chrissie,


Dare I ask - what proof do you have then that she existed?

;)

[Chrissy Confused]

Hi Wendy

My mil has a family tree done by a rellie of her (a cousin I think) and its got Alice on it and just says she died aged 5 but no dates all the other siblings are correct as I have check them all this afternoon with mil help.

There is an Alice Ada Element born 1890 died 1895 Watford, Hertfordshire (3a 455)

[Chrissy Confused]

That could be her, thanks Wendy

[WendyPusey]

I can't find a birth for her though.

[WendyPusey]

Found it!!

March qtr 1890 Watford, 3a 604 (I think)

Thanks Wendy, we now have all siblings births, mil is well pleased,:D

I don't want to put a spanner in the works, but in 1891 they seem to have:

Joseph 3
William 2
Ada 1
baby 7 days!

Here's the 1891 census to confirm, she's down as Ada but there is also a child who is 7 days old so born in 1891 that doesn't seem to be on your list.

Transcribed as Ament.
RG12, Piece 1121, Folio 95, Page 24

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Ada 1 is probably Alice who would have been one.

But who is the 7 days baby?

[fiona c]

Looks like the baby in 1891 might have been Florence.

Florence Mary Ellement registered Jun 1891, Watford, 3a, 637.

Florence Mary Ellement registered Jun 1891, Watford, 3a, 637.

That's what I thought too!

Merry has already bagged the spanner .I'll be a monkey wrench
(would also reg Watford,I think)

Alice Ellement
Event(s):
Birth: 21 DEC 1889 Mill End By Rickmansworth, Hertford, England

Christening: 12 MAY 1890 Mill-End, , Hertford, England

Parents:
Father: George Henry Ellement
Mother: Lucy

Truck loads of Ellements/Elements on the IGI

Emily Ellement tickled me- Imagine being a cross schoolteacher and shouting her name! Clotilda is a slightly more unsual Elliment featured along with loads of others

There are 2 Alice Ellement birth registered in Watford for the Mar Qtr 1890:

Alice 3a / 602 and
Alice Ada 3a / 604

Alice 3a / 602 and
Alice Ada 3a / 604

Yes but it was Alice Ada who died aged 5!

[Lyn A]

Yes Wendy...but I was referring to Jess' post.....sorry I should have quoted it to save confusion.

[Chrissy Confused]

Hi folks, sorry my connection is down on my laptop, so I am using OH computer, not sure how long I will get away with for.


So are we saying that the Alice Wendy found is or is not the Alice I'm looking for ?

[Jessbowbag]

No idea - all i said was Ellements in that area are plentiful on the IGI- one Alice included

[Lyn A]

No Chrissie, I am saying that the Christening that Jess found is probably not your Alice. The parents are wrong & there were 2 registered in the same qtr.
The birth Wendy found for Alice Ada fits the death she found which was for Alice Ada, also.
