My Great Great Grandparents Shop John And Elizabeth Williams
A Memory of Ellesmere.
My great great grandparents had a shoeshop and lived at no 10 Scotland Street, Ellesmere, Shropshire. Census records show Thomas and Elizabeth Williams had 6 children there, a lodger, Thomas Griffiths, a draper and a servant, Annie Jones. Thomas and Elizabeth died very young leaving the six children to go to orphanages. Elizabeth, John, Albert, Alice William and Emily. When old enough, John and Albert emigrated to Australia and John went on to Christchurch, New Zealand. We recall the youngest, William and Emily, were adopted into a wealthy family, but both died at only 20 and 21. Does anybody recall this family?
