I wonder if anyone can help me find more information about my great great grandmother, Ellen Eliza Blagden as she seems to be the most mysterious person on my tree!
I believe she was born abt 1852/3 in Polesworth Warwickshire (this info from 1881 & 1891 census) but can't find her on the birth index.
She lived with my great great grandfather John Wake, in Rotherham, Yorkshire but not sure if they actually married, as can't find any marriage record on the index or parish records.
Their children all born in Rotherham (Harriet Mary, William, Henry, John Thomas, Lily, Alice, Florence, & Robert) have both names on the baptism records, eg Harriet Mary Blagden Wake b 1875 (my gramdmother)
She is on some baptism & census records as Ellen Wake and some as Ellen E Blagden.
Their last son Robert Blagden Wake was born in 1893 and John is a widower on 1911 census, but I can't find any record of her death or burial. (She isn't in buried in the grave with John, or any of her children)
John is at home with his parents in Rotherham on 1871 census, but is listed as married, but no luck finding Ellen.
So I need to find the family in 1901, her birth, her on the 1861, & 1871 census and her death record, possibly a marriage too.
Any help is much appreciated, or even ideas on where I could try looking
Thanks Bev
