Thanks Barbara & Greg for your input. I have the marriage cert. for Thomas Hunt & Ellen Mason 14th Nov.1895( father Richard Mason, witnesses William & Emily Mason) which ties her in with Richard Mason & Harriet Stout family. Ellen is with the family in 1881 but I can only find Ellen STOUT in 1891 a servant in East Grafton which I think might be her. I have what I think is her birth cert.22nd. Oct. 1873, mother Harriet Stout, no father, res. Shalbourn, registered in Kintbury, Hungerford. Hence the hope of a bastardy bond to identify the father, or some clue in a baptismal record to trace her fathers side. If you have any advice on where else to look I would be very grateful, once again many thanks Geoff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Ross" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 10:38 PM Subject: Re: [King] Ellen Stout > Hi Geoff > I hope I'm not being presumptious as you may have the info already. > Ellen is on the freeBMd and you could order the certificate from the > General Register Office on line The info is > Dec 1873 Hungerford 2c 236 > I also checked the 1871 census for Harriet.
