I am building family tree and connections through Ancestry and goodness knows what else. Anyway I received an email in response to my asking where they got the information from and they quote "me", the email address I used when I first joined ancestry. So I went to bed thinking maybe I have more info than I realised. I have organised myself sufficiently that I have boxes with family groups in them, so I got out the Ellam/Lockwood box and started reading through my various notes and discovered about 3 letters from an Aunt in Scotland and one letter had all the dates and names I had been looking for. The letter would have come pre Christmas a long time ago and I had put it on one side to deal with later. Her son who we always knew as Morrison Ellam was in facst called William Muir Morrison Ellam so no wonder I couldn't find any information. I look for POW info for Sidney Ellam and really had no idea if I had the right one until my husband went for his stamp collection and produced letters and details, even a photograph confirming we had the right one. He got sufficiently interested to play around with Ancestry and discovered his Uncle Donald Spence's marriage but he had the wrong Birth date as he doesn't have the genealogist way of thinking in following clues but we still can't exactly work out when this uncle died or in fact if he has. Death's are harder to work out, and we lost touch a long time ago so have no idea where they might have lived now. I think whoever typed the names into the system transcribed him as Donald M Spence when it should have been H. There isn't anyone else who fits the profile and it seems he was born at Leeds not Huddersfield. But the amount of knowledge I have received over the past 2 weeks when added to what I already know is amazing and what I like is that I can at last share all those certificates I spent good money buying over the years with others who are interested. Like you in UK snowed in, we have been housebound because of extreme heat (hopefully a cool wind is blowing through tonight, although it is still warm.so I manage to get some things done when we have heat waves I wouldn't have the time for normally. I am slowly getting 20 years worth of notes into some kind of order at last. Jean in S. Australia.
