Ellen Maria LYONS
Set As Default Person -
Name Ellen Maria LYONS Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 18 Nov 1853 Challock, Kent, England
- GRO ref: LYONS, Ellen q4 1853 E Ashford RD 2a 451; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Davison
The mother's maiden name is a surprise, would have expected Russell like her siblings, both older and younger. Was this an error on the certificate? It is certainly there on the GRO copy of the entry, but maybe an error when the details were copied from the local register for the GRO. Or an alias of Jane's?
Baptised 12 Feb 1854 St. Cosmas and St. Damian’s Church, Challock, Kent, England

Gender Female Occupation 1871 61, Ethelbert Road, Margate, Kent, England

Residence 1881 Halfway House, Wye, Kent, England
- Back with parents, brother and daughter
still with them in 1891, now with a son (born in q4 1881 so she would probably have already been pregnant with him at the time of the 1881 census - 3rd April i.e. it doesn't show that she and Jabez subsequently lived together again).

"Ellen Maria Goatham No. 592, abode: Challock, buried: January 3rd 1910, aged 55 Years, ceremony performed by: W. Henry Vicar." - under heading 'Burials ... Challock ... 1908-10'
Although Jabez and Ellen appear to have separated by 1881, Jabez described himself as married in the 1881-1901 censuses, but as a widower in 1911 so it appears he knew of her death.
