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

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 |

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

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 |

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