Hi All! I wonder whether some kind person could offer any help or advice in finding the above William Ellis, or more specifically a record of his death. I have VERY LITTLE information to go on: WILLIAM ELLIS was born in London around 1890, he is a brother to my Grandmother Caroline ELLIS, Son of Edward Ellis.. He was married in London and had at least a daughter. He Emigrated to America, with the intention of sending for his family once settled. Family legend states that he sent money to his wife, who promptly "blew it" on a motorbike for her new boyfriend! (nice lady!). William remained in America and "died a pauper". We have no knowledge of where exactly he settled, except that it was in the East somewhere (? probably New York). Apparently his landlady sent word to my Grandmother to let her know of his death. Sadly, my Grandmother is also long gone and we have no way of finding out where/when William died. At a guess, I would imagine he died in the 1950 - 1960's. Is there any chance of finding information regarding him, or is there really too little to go on? With best wishes Angela M Gibson In wintry Sydney, Australia E-mail: angelagibson@optusnet.com.au
