Mary,
I have a great grandmother Mary Ellen called Ella or El by her family and in census, land and marriage records she's Mary Ellen or Mary E. Her mother was Esther Ellen MCDONALD KINSEY called Hettie. Hettie had a niece Esther Ellen MCDONALD WEHRLY and she's Hester in the 1870 census, Ella in the 1880 census and in her obituary she's Esther Ellen. My point is that if Ellen was your relative's middle name she may have used her full name in records or her first name and middle initial and not just her middle name or nickname.
My MCDONALDs have been traced from Bedford Co., PA (1820's to 1840's) to Ashland Co., OH (1840's to 1852) to Kosciusko Co., IN (1852 - 1900's) and their progenitor was Absolom MCDONALD (ca. 1798-ca. 1868).
