| Ellen & Hugh with their granddaughter, Eliza |
Name: Ellen Pugh
Birth: About 1824 in Merionethshire, Wales Death: after 1885
Marriage: before 1846
Location(s): Northern Wales
Relation to me: Ellen Pugh was my maternal grandmother's mother's maternal grandmother, which makes her 6th generation before me.
Alias(es): None known at this time.
Parents: unknown
Spouse(s): Hugh Roberts
Children: Selina, ElizabethOther Family: none known
Details: I know little about Ellen or her husband, aside from their names and the photo I have of them. We have a picture of her holding one of his daughter's children. We believe it is our great-grandmother Eliza. Aside from that, I really know very little else about either of them. Their daughter was born in Northern Wales, which likely means they were from that area as well, but as I have no absolute information on their lives, I simply can't be sure.
Proof:
1) Ellen has been in my family tree from the first, which was pieced together with the help of my grandmother, her uncle Ted, and my father. None of whom knew her, unfortunately, which makes the information on her sketchy at best.
2) Then there is the photograph of Hugh, Ellen and the child we believe to be Eliza back in Wales. I am uncertain of the actual date of the photo, but fairly certain of the two Robertses's identities.
3) However, my best proof of her identity and her surname as Pugh is their daughter's death record. It is there she is listed as Ellen Pugh, which is a slightly more valid proof than from family stories, where I had always heard her referred to as Griffiths.
New Proofs I have found of Ellen:
4) As with Hugh, she is listed in the 1851 census with their two listed daughters, Selina and Elizabeth.
Needed:
As with Hugh, she is also listed in the 1891 census with another girl, if I have found them, but I have no other records listing other children, so at this time, I can't be sure this is the same family, given the commonness of their names. Like many of my other brick walls, I have almost no BMD info for her aside from a birth year. As I said above, I know she was alive around the 1880s, but I have no clue when she might have died. I would love to know the names of her parents, and if she had siblings, and where she was born. I would also love to know when and where she married Hugh, and whether or not they had any other children beyond Selina and Elizabeth.
As always, if my family or anyone out there has any more information on this family, I'd love to talk to you about them. I'd love to learn more on any of them, if at all possible.
