In the March quarter of 1887 Mary Anne married Frederick William Hunnings, the son of William John Hunnings and his wife Henrietta (born Henrietta Goodman, married in the June quarter of 1858). Interestingly, William John's brother, Alfred Hunnings, a licensed victualler, married a Jane Sarah Goodman who was probably Henrietta's sister. There was also another brother - Henry Hunnings, who was a curate, but he died young and his widow remarried. There was also a younger sister, Emily F Hunnings who died unmarried aged 85. William John worked in his father's printing business in the Tottenham High Road. His and Mary Anne's children were:
(The information on the Hunnings family is courtesy of Irina McKavanagh.) Mary Ann died in 1948 and her age was given as 85.
Charles John Ellis (Charley) was born on 21 December 1866 at 5 Princes Street, Tottenham. He appeared in the 1871 census as aged 4, a scholar, with the family at the same address, then again in the 1881 census aged 15, still with them and still at the same address, but as as a printer. On August 14th 1888 Charley married Caroline Maria Ziegler at All Hallows Church, Tottenham. The 1901 Census shows the couple living at 37 Millbrook Rd, Edmonton; with him a Bus Conductor. In 1902 he joined the Metropolitan horse Tramways as they started to be electrified, becoming part of the new MET Company. This was later taken over by London Transport. He remained on the trams all his working life, retiring in 1932 as Chief depot clerk and Inspector at Tramway Avenue Depot. In his spare time, he was a keen allotment holder, winning many prizes at the Moat Farm Allotment Society Shows. The children of the marriage were:
Charley and Caroline Ellis went on to celebrate both their Golden and Diamond Weddings. He died on Nov 1st 1952, aged 85. Caroline died on Dec 7th 1952 just a few days after him and a few days short of her 86th birthday.

Elizabeth
Caroline Ellis (17 Aug 1861 - 20 Jan 1936) was the first child of 
Mary
Anne Ellis was born between in 1862 or 1863. This information comes
from the 1871 census, in which, as aged 8, she was with her parents and their family at 4 Princes
Street, Tottenham. It has not been possible to firm up on a birth
reference for her because of the large number of babies with the same
name.

Emily Frances Ellis was born in 1868 or 1869 at Tottenham. She appeared in the 1871 census as aged 2 with the family at 4 Princes Street. She married King Custerson in 1897 at Hackney. She died on 2 Dec 1951 at Frome, at the age of 83, having had children:
Florence Ellis (Florrie) was born in 1872 or 1873. She appeared in the 1881 census as a factory hand aged 16 with parents and family at 4 Princes St. She married John Henry Hutton (Harry). [Frances Ellis appears in the 1881 census, age 6, so would have been born circa 1875 (at Tottenham). Nothing else is known of her and she was not in my aunt's notes. She may have died young or there may have been an error in the census entry. An Ellis, Frances Eugene does appear in the GRO birth records for March 1876, but nothing else is known of "our" Frances, if indeed this is her. I have not (yet) found a death record.] Alice Amy Ellis was born in the first quarter of 1877 at Tottenham. She appeared in the 1891 census aged 14 at 4 Princes Street, Tottenham, with family, as a scholar. She married Leonard Henry A Hitchcock (Harry).
[Jemima Ellis appeared in the 1881 and 1891 census but nothing else is known of her. So she was probably the same person as Ellen Jemima above. (No Jemima appeared in my aunt's notes.)]
Rosa Bel Maud Ellis, the couple's youngest child, was born on 23 Aug 1881. She appeared as "Rosy" in the 1891 census as a scholar aged 9 with family at 4 Princes Street, Tottenham, and in the 1901 census aged 19 at 1 Trafalgar Cottages, Queen Street, Tottenham with parents and sister Ellen, employed as a book folder. She married Alfred Luetchford (Fred) in Sep 1906. Rosa died in 1971, having had three children:

Annie
Ellis was born in 1870 at Tottenham. She appeared in the
1871 census as age 4 months at 4 Princes Street. She married
William Woods (Bill). (Interestingly their son Horace Woods married back
into the Cole/Ellis family when he married Emily Cole, the daughter of
Elizabeth Caroline Ellis/Cole.
Walter
Thomas Ellis was born in the last quarter of 1872 in Tottenham. He
appeared in the 1881 census with parents age 8 at Princes Street. He
married Eliza Butterworth (Lizzie) in the second quarter of 1896.
In the 1910s he lived at 46 Lopen Road, Edmonton and used to play
billiards with his nephew, 
Ellen
Jemima Ellis (Nell or Nellie) was born in the last quarter of 1879. She appeared
in the 1891 census aged 11, a scholar, with family at 4 Princes Street,
and in the 1901 census aged 21, single, employed as a book
folder, with parents and one sister at 3 Trafalgar Cottages, Queen
Street. She married Joseph Gosling in the last quarter of
1904.

N.B. In the 1901 census for the family of John George Ellis and
Elizabeth, there are two tantalising entries for two grandsons:
So far it has not been possible to see where they fit in as children of their own children. Perhaps "grandson" was a courtesy title for a looser family relationship or perhaps there is a lot more to learn about the Ellises. |

Judging by the plants, this photo looks as if it was taken on or very close to the same occasion, yet the people in both photos are wearing different clothes. The only identified individuals are Ellen Ellis (second from the left at the back; Edith Cole (third from the left at the back); Rosa Ellis next to her and Charles Ellis (second from the right at the back). |
