Jessie Ellis - born 1875

Surnames: Ellis & White
Hello: I'am trying to locate information on Jessie Ellis who I believe was born May 1875.

Her parents are - William Ellis and Annie (White) Ellis

I've been told Jessie was born in Yarmouth but I've had no luck searching that area so I'am beginning to think it may have not been Yarmouth.

Jessie according to Massachusetts cencus records it gives several dates of arrival but tend to think it was @1888.

Jessie first married in Reading Mass 1891 - Charles Sumner McIntire - 2nd marriage to - Charles Warren Damon.

Jessie passed in 1942 in Mass.

Trying to find out if indeed she was born in Yarmouth.

Thanks so much for any info and help.

I checked the Nova Scotia Vital Stat site and found the marriage of William Ellis and Ann LeBlanc (translation-White) you can view this at
www.novascotiagenealogy.ca
This is a free site - you may need to download a viewer program which is free onsite to see the actual record. They were married in 1884-William was a bachelor, age 38 and Ann a spinster age 39. The date suggested some "irregularity" in Jessie's birth. After some searching I found the following that you can check out. It is absolutely conjecture but suggests some areas of further research.

The 1881 Census -link below

There are several other children young children in the family of Remi and Elizabeth but mixed in with them is a 7-year old Jessie.

The LDS site above has the first name blank but when I checked the actual record there is no question that it is "Jessie" and she is female. This is a very unusual name for a female in this part of the province especially among the Acadians. In Cape Breton and Pictou County, the Scots had a daughter "Jessie" in almost every family. You can see the actual record at Canada Collections below

Don't know if the above is any help but happy hunting

Hi, if you check the birth record of Charles & Jessie's daughter, Mabel Alice, mother's name listed is "Jessie White". However, on Alice's marriage record, she lists her mother's maiden name as "Jessie Ellis".

Hello: Thanks so much for your reply. I know Jessie's mothers maiden name was White - not sure why on Mabel Alices birth record Mom is listed as Jessie White. Something else to look at cuz I'am not finding them in NS or so far no boarder crossings.

The hunt continues - Thanks again for looking into Jessie its much appreciated.

Hi Burdette: Thanks so much for the info you sent along - this seems to be taking me in a somewhat different direction.

I'll be looking into all of it later this afternoon - very interesting.

Thanks again
