Ellen Elizabeth Hammond was born about 1860 in Buckland, Dover, Kent, England to parents Thomas Hammond and Elizabeth Ann Ball. Her birth was registered in 1860 Mar Qtr in the Dover district.[1][2]
In 1861 Ellen was age one and living with her parents and siblings in Buckland, Kent, England.[3][4]
In 1871 she was age 11and a scholar, living with her parents and siblings in Buckland, Kent, England. Her father was a hawker.[5][6]
In 1881 she was age 19, single, and working as a dressmaker. She was boarding with Susanner Tunbridge and her family in Hougham, Kent, England.[7]
She married John Bailey in 1883 in Dover, Kent, England.[8] In 1881, John was age 26 and living in the Grand Shaft Barracks, Western Heights Dover, Hougham, Kent, England. He was a Private in the British Army Infantry.[9]
In 1901 Ellen was age 39 and the married head of household in Dover, Kent, England. She was living with her six children and a boarder, Steve G Bailey, age 62, widow. Her husband was not listed in the 1901 census, and likely was serving in the British military.[16][17]
In the 1911 census Ellen (age 52), House Wife, was a married wife in Buckland, Kent, England.[18][19]
Ellen emigrated to Australia in 1911 with her children except for Hannah on the ship Oswestry Grange, arriving in Queensland, Australia on 27 Aug 1911.[20][21][22]
Ellen died at age 80 on 18 Nov 1941 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[23] She was buried in the Bald Hills Cemetery, Bracken Ridge, Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia.[24]
Research
Documentation is needed for her husband's death date and place. Since she is listed as married on the 1911 England Census but her husband is not listed with the family as passengers emigrating to Australia later in 1911, it is possible he died in 1911.
