Just seen your plea for help with tracing Joe Ellam.
I have had a quick look and Joe Ellam married Sarah Hannah Bedford at Lockwood Emmanuel church on the 17 May 1875, Joe was the son of Joseph Ellam and Sarah was the daughter of Benjamin Bedford.
They had three children, Joe William, Book and George. Joe William married Lily Barker at Huddersfield St. Thomas's on 3 October 1901 and George married Ann Vickerman at Lockwood Emmanuel on the 4 November 1905. I don't know what happenedto Brook.
Joe Ellam died in 1896 aged 42 and was buried in Lockwood Emmanuel on the 3 October 1896.
