Message Board Post:
I'm very interested in hearing more about this line, mainly because of your reference
to Utica, NY. I have a cousin in Llandudno whose father, Griffith Ellis, travelled to
Utica in the 1920s. He was employed at a retirement/senios' home the until he returned
to Dolgellau in 1932 to marry Gwladys Jones. He was my mother's cousin.
We think he may have gone to Utica to see relatives as he landed in Halifax and was there
a while before going on to Utica. Since my mother's family was at Toronto, Ontario,
was easily available from Halifax or Utica and well known to Griffith, we can think of no
other reason why he would have gone there, other than family that is.
There are a number of other connections with my Ellis & Jones families. My grandmother
was Anne Thomas Jones, for example. I'm interested in trying to find connections to
more of the twenty children of my greatgrandparents, William Ellis, Catherine Evans &
Laura (nee Thomas) late Ellis (had been married to Lewis Ellis 1st).
I'm at jlatimer(a)yahoo.ca if you'd care to reply direct.
