George Ellis 1860- and Emily Rosewarne 1865-

I recall my mother saying details for the ELLIS line of our family are few and far between. With this in mind I searched FreeBMD in order to match George ELLIS 1860- with a spouse. Eventually in Sheffield I found a likely marriage between one George ELLIS 1860- and one Emily ROSEWARNE 1865-. The date of September 1882 matched my expectations, and furthermore, the name ROSEWARNE seemed somewhat familiar.

A few days later my mother confirmed the name ROSEWARNE and supplied some very valuable additional information regarding George ELLIS 1860- and Emily ROSEWARNE 1865-. More searching revealed the surname ROSEWARNE to be indigenous to the Redruth and Penzance areas of Cornwall. This makes searching the Sheffield area somewhat easier.
