Val’s grandmother was Martha Ellwood, who came from Whitehaven,
Cumberland. Her great great grandparents were Thomas Ellwood and Hannah Lowery (family group report below). They appear to have had 13 children, of whom 12 seem to have disappeared
without a trace. Perhaps they all died young — there were two sets of twins,
and the first pair were baptised on the day they were born, which might
indicate that they were sickly and not expected to live. The LDS has some microfilms of Bishops Transcripts, which I’ll be ordering,
but they seem to be indexed on FamilySearch, and though I found birth/baptism
records for most of the children, there doesn’t seem to be any record of any
of them having died young. Does anyone have any idea of what happened to them? *ends
