Find Living Relatives

Hi JoonieCloonie

I have the details of their passenger ticket which states on Form 30A arrived in Quebec 1924 on the Montroyal. I don't recognise the address in Windsor. Again I shall have a good look through all the info you have for me and see if and how it fits.

Many thanks Sue

on the 1965 Canadian voters' list (at Ancestry)

James Ellis, truckdriver
Mrs Mary Ellis
on Janette Avenue in Windsor Ontario

just wondering whether, although you don't remember an address, you might recognise it if you saw it ...

hm, in 1957 the same address has James, working at Hackney Cartage, and "Miss Mary", checker.



have you found their emigration passenger record ever? they seem to have emigrated before the children were born ... it could say where they were destined in Ontario

this one would seem to match

EDIT - scratching the one I'd posted and adding the correct one from Suan's info below

First name(s) JAMES
Last name ELLIS
Gender Male
Age 26
Birth year 1898
> Occupation ENGINEER
Departure year 1924
Departure day 99
Departure month 4
Departure port LIVERPOOL
Destination port QUEBEC
Destination QUEBEC
Country CANADA
Destination country CANADA
Ship name MONTROYAL

address in England is in Birmingham

but Mary is not in the passenger list which was why I'd disregarded that one

Ann you are posting personal informatoin about people showing their home address within the last 6 years in some cases.

I don't want my home address posted here ... I doubt any of us does ... and this is actually against the rules, given how recent the info is

can these records not be sent by PM ... or just post the link to the familysearch page where they came from ...

these names are so common that there is no reason even to think that any of these are related or relevant (and in some cases you have just duplicated, the last two are the same)

e.g. there are 114 James Ellis graves in Ohio recorded at findagrave
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi
and those are only the ones that have been submitted there

who is Arthur Ellis in Windsor?
Mary Ellis born 1928 living in Ohio ... but we know that daughter Mary in this thread got married because the family photo is of her wedding breakfast ...

all from the free website - familysearch.org

Many thanks AnnCardiff. I shall check out all your research and see how it fits in. Phenomenal job. Sue

Hi Malyon, yes this is the information that I also have. Sorry for the time lag - I have been picking up on the tablet which seems to be slower than the PC.

Thanks Joonie, I will check out your suggestions. Sue

one thing to note from their marriage record is that they had no middle names, which can sometimes help for finding records (like obituaries) for people with otherwise fairly common names ...

there would be no harm in contacting the J Ellis-s in the Canadian telephone book in Windsor in case 'Jimmy' is still there

if Jimmy was in the US military in Vietnam it is very likely the family had relocated to the US though as it would have been very unusual for a Canadian to have done that

Hi De, that is about everything that I have. From the photo I have both JIM AND Mary were adults in 1958. All that I can remember is my mother writing to them in Windsor, Ontario and for the life of me I cannot remember any more of the address. Hence I am trying to work backwards and hope someone out there may have a connection.

Plenty of lookers, but no posters. Do you have additional information?

Any idea when the boys were born? Do you know if the whole family moved from Ohio to Canada, or was the Ohio connection just a holiday/for the Wedding?

If any Canadian/US members can help - I am looking for descendants of James (Jim) Ellis (1898-1974 born in Birmingham) and his wife Jessie Ellis (nee Taylor) (1900-1977 born in Devon). Contact has been lost since Jim's death when they were living in Ontario, Canada. There were two children (possibly three - I only have an old photo to go on) - Jim (Jimmy) and Mary and possibly another son. Jimmy served three tours in Vietnam and in 1958 Jim, Jessie and Jimmy together with (I assume) Jimmy's wife and 3 children were in Dayton, Ohio. I have a photo of Mary's wedding breakfast but no other info. If anyone knows of the family I would be delighted to hear from you and I WILL answer any emails. Many thanks.
