trying to find Ellen Straker born 1882 in west ham

If you mean you're trying to find her birth -- there was apparently no Ellen Straker born 1882 in West Ham.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk

Where does your information come from, and what other information do you have?

Can only find two Ellen Straker's born between 1878 and 1886, these two both in 1879, neither from West Ham. Is it possible this date could be wrong?

there is no Ellen Straker listed as born 1882 on FreeBMD. She is not found in the census. Irene

I don't suppose you meant 1828 ...

There is an Ellen born and married at Holborn London. That was all I could find. Regards Irene

So is the one I found the one you found?

Your info really just seems to be off!

Do you have any more you could share? What *do* you know about her? Whom she married? Her children?

apparently she had a son Donald with a John simmons

Sorry, Carol, this isn't doing any good.

There's a reason you're looking for this women, one presumes.

She must be related to someone of interest to you. You must know the name of a parent or sibling or husband or child or *something*, or you wouldn't be asking about her, surely!

What is it that makes her of interest to you, and what is the information that's based on??

think my Ellen Straker had middle name beginning with E

This one's really got me, cannot find her at all! Sorry Carol! Will keep searching!

Claire

she was in the same grave as my grand parents and my mother said she was our relation but she not remembering to much

So have you looked for the birth of Donald? Presumably Ellen wasn't married to Mr. Simmons?

There just isn't a Donald Simmons or Straker in the index who looks like a match.

I'll give up. No info to go on, no way to search.

Thank You all so very very much i greatly appreciate ur help

Sorry Carol, can't find her anywhere. If you get any more info that we could go on then let us know.

Good luck,
Claire

You could get intouch with the cemetary where your family are buried and ask for details. They will give you her details of age at death so you could work backwards from there. If her name is Straker at death that means she did not marry, Perhaps she married a Straker and her name is Ellen?born 1882 at West Ham. Irene

Maybe you could tell us your grandparents' names and birthdates ...

Don't you see, Carol? You have the information, we don't. Any bit of information could be useful in finding your answer. So any information you have, you need to share. Any and all.

I'm happy to help someone try to find answers, but I get pretty frustrated when I have to pry the information that is needed out of them with a crowbar first, and still don't get all of it.

Aha, Irene -- I considered the Straker-by-marriage possibility, and did a search.
