Misc. Notes
1881 Census index mentions a boarder living with them by the name of Susannah GILBERT, b.1841 in Northampton. This is probably Ellen’s sister, based on the 1871 census. [433], [6009]

Second marriage to William Henry Collinson Sr. is believed to have been a double wedding with William’s son and Ellen’s daughter Isabel Kate. [462]

Moved to 12 Princes Street sometime after the death of her husband. [544]
