In the West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser - 29th October 1858 transcribed by Bern Currie was the following death: At Newlyn, ......... and on the 23rd inst., Sarah, widow of the late Mr. Edward LADNER, aged 66 years. Husband, Edward LADNER (1784-1851), died in Mineral Point, Iowa Co., Wisconsin, USA where their dau Pee Priscilla Ellis LADNER PHILLIPS (1829 – 1916 Lindon, Iowa Co., Wisconsin, USA), sons William Henry LADNER (1826 – 1907 Ladner’s Landing, British Columbia, Canada) , and Thomas Ellis LADNER (1836 – 1922 Point Gray, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) , had emigrated. Edward and Sarah and all their children were born in Cornwall. Wife Sarah ELLIS (1792 – 1858) had refused to go to America and their daughters, Jane Roberts LADNER PHILLIPS (1823 – 1893 British Columbia, Canada), Selina LADNER (1825 – 1887 British Columbia, Canada), and Honor Chenalls LADNER ARMSTRONG (1832 – 1925 West Minster, British Columbia, Canada) did then go to Canada to meet up with their brothers within a few years of their mother’s death. I have considerable research data on the ancestry and descendants of these lines of PHILLIPS, LADNER, ELLIS and am very happy and eager to share. It would be very nice to correspond with others working on these families. Blessings, Meli in Texas
