Notes for Joseph ELLIS
Christening is on IGI: Batch C034202.

The following is from Mike Harper by email (September 2003) <[email protected]>:
Great grandmother Ann Ellis came from a family of brewers in Lincoln. Her daughter Mary Lavina Ellis was born in Lincoln Workhouse in 1864, and no father appears on the birth certificate. Workhouse admission and discharge records for that period are not available. Neither Ann nor Mary Lavina appear in Lincoln at the 1871 census, and so far, we have no proof of Ann’s identity. She was probably daughter of Joseph Ellis, born 1802 in W ellingore. A search of the 1861 census
showed that the Ellis brewers were mostly brothers who were born in Wellingore, Lincolnshire between 1800 and 1816, and some of their sons. Although they were prosperous they owned few of the numerous hotels and inns.

The relevant Ellis men, appearing in the 1861 census, were:

Joseph Ellis 12 Mar 1802 14 Mar 1802 23 Feb 1864 car agent, bookkeeper Joseph Ellis Alice Morton Ann Smith

Most of the family of Joseph Ellis and Alice appear on the IGI. The genders were not at all obvious to me.
