Notes
- Could be a 'Woods' or 'Smith' or 'Nye'. With or without Elizabeth.
Birth certificate of Albert Woods shows mother as Ellen Elizabeth Woods of Rhode Common, Selling in Kent. No father shown.
Birth certificate of Samuel shows maiden name as Ellen Smith of Winchester, father Silas Beebe.
Birth certificates of Arthur and Nellie show maiden name as Ellen Nyeof Bedford, father Silas Beebe.
Birth certificates of George, Mabel, William, Jane, Rose(1), Rose(2) show maiden name as Ellen Woods, father Silas Beebe.
Are these all the same person?
If we assume that it is the same person, then her first child by Silas was born in 1883 (Elizabeth) and the last in 1907 (Albert Woods).This gives a child bearing range of 24 years. Silas had his second child Harriet by his first wife Frances in 1877 when he would have beenabout 24 so presumably did not "marry" Ellen Woods until after 1877 but before 1883. If we assume that the latest Ellen Woods had Albert (in 1907) was age 47 then she would have been born after 1860. Similarly the youngest she would be to have her daughter Elizabeth in 1883 isabout 15 suggesting the birth of Ellen Woods between 1860 -1868 and her death after 1907.
The 1891 census gives the age of Ellen as 28, born abt 1863.
I have now re-visited the data and there is a record of Ellen Elizabeth Woods born Q4 1864 Bedford ref: 3b 321 and I am quite certain this is the correct Ellen.
