Re: Ellen Roberts
In Response To: Bannan ()

Hi, I'm a visitor to this site. My grandfather married a Woman from the Isle of Man, but we never knew her name. I think I have found her now, Ellen Roberts born probably 1872 and married in Liverpool to William Evans June 1896. They lived in Llanrwst, Denbighshire. She had a daughter called Mary and a boy called John, known as Jack. Ellen died in 1902 along with a new baby as a result of diphtheria brought by a visitor who called too congratulate the couple on birth of new baby. William married again, Ellen Ann Roberts, my grandmother. She cared for Mary and Jack, who used to "preach" from his high chair. Jack died of whooping cough and croup at the age of six, but Mary married at age 16 and had a number of children in the Llanrwst, Wales area. Hope this is of use to someone who wondered what happened to her!
