Ellis Family - 1870's
I am looking for any information about my Ellis ancestors who lived in the St. Catharines area in the 1870's. I believe John Ellis' home was on Lake Shore Road.(?) His niece and nephew, Emma and Thomas T. Ellis, came to live with him from Godalming, Surrey County, England after both parents died. They arrived aboard "The Scotland" in late May of 1872, and Emma Ellis died 10 or 11 days after arriving, on June 3, 1872. She is buried in St. James Cemetery in Toronto. Thomas T. Ellis was my great-great grandfather. I'm especially interested in John Ellis and finding the names of John Ellis' parents so I can continue my family research.
