Hi, I have a Reeves connection in England which dead-ended with the premature death of my great grandmother, Ellen Elizabeth Reeves in 1895. I have her father's name only, John, with his occupation listed as baker on her marriage certificate. She was sixteen and but it looks not to be a shotgun wedding unless a child was born and died. I have all the records of my Great grandparents children and the first was born in 1876, 2 years later. Still, she died of complications of childbirth 8 children later after the birth of my grandfather. Family lore says they were from Ireland and she was Catholic and her mother died birthing her, but nothing is substantiated. I have no other info and would love to learn who John's siblings were, etc. Any info you have on your English connection would be greatly appreciated. I know my great grandparents lived in the Ivy Cottage on Ballard's Lane, Middlesex, London; that address is listed on several birth certificates. Thanks in advance.
