ELLIS Joseph UK 1888
Trying to find Joseph ELLIS born 1888/89 in the UK.
He also used Joseph William Robert Ellis.
His father is James ELLIS, at least that is what it says on his marriage certificate.
Searches in BMD, BMD Index, Southport, MoD have all drawn blanks despite having his Service Number.
Only known info is he married Florie WEEDON in India in 1912, hence marriage certificate. He was serving in S Lancs Regiment at the time. He completed his enlistment about 1930 and lived in Portsmouth until he died in 1961.
None of his surviving children are able to recall anything of his life before 1912.
I am trying to find his date and place of birth and, dare I say, his mother and fathers names.
