" I appear to have a group of ELLIS around Weston Herts, specifically in Damask Green area according to the Census returns for 1881 to 1911. Is there anybody else out there with a similar connection that I could exchange data ?? Hi The family below I presume is the one you are talking about? They are not in my database but I have a Matilda Ellis b~1820 in the Weston area marrying into my Bonfield line (see below). She is the second wife of William Bonfield. Agewise is she the older sister or cousin of Joseph Ellis? I have also included all the Ellis deaths in Weston from the Nat Bur Index. Unfortunately for the time we are looking at (1820s) there is not much parish records for Weston. The 1841 census could be worthwhile looking at though there appears to be some missing for Weston. Hope this is of some help.
