That bit is definitely correct, I'm not too sure about the part before it

Are you able to find any information on Leonard Walker (Ellen' Husband), I've managed to find that his death was in 1964 but I can't find a birth date.

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2006
about Leonard Walker
Name: Leonard Walker
Birth Date: abt 1901
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1964
Age at Death: 63
Registration district: Leeds
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 2c
Page: 190

According to the death entry he was born in 1901. There are few Leonard Walker's born in 1901......but without knowing where he was born, any one of them could be your Leonard.

What you really need is a copy of the marriage cert.........but as there does not appear to be a marriage registered between a Leonard Walker and Ellen Roundhill in England or Wales..........It's tricky.

Banns...

West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935
about John Thomas Roundhill
Name: John Thomas Roundhill
Marriage or Bann Date: 28 Jul 1889
Parish: Leeds, St Edmund
Spouse's Name: Mary Ellen Wallis

Isn't that the marriage in Portsmouth 1916?

My Aunty Sarah ELLEN was always known as Nellie!


Maryb.

I did suggest that Ellen used the "nickname" of Nellie.

It's the only marriage i can find Mary.

A long way to go to get married though isn't it?............From Leeds Yorkshire to Porstmouth in Hampshire.

This is interesting............

There is someone on here with leonard 1893 and Ellen Roundhill.

Maybe its worth contacting them.

Maryb.

The Bridlington link does look interesting as there is a link to Mary Ellen to Bridlington.

I'm wondering whether Leonard Walker was in the navy as to why they married in Portsmouth. From what I can work out Ellen would have been nearly 3 months pregnant with their first child Leonard when the married. They married in Dec and Leonard was born the following June.

Amelia appears as "Donever" in the 1891 census and she is still with the Earnsahaw family........

There is definitely quite a few links there that are possibilities

I would be inclined to purchase a copy of Leonard and Nellie's marriage certificate..........at least that way you will know for sure if it's the right couple.
