Biography
Online birth records have her parents names. Birth place is Cast.
On 11/2/1875 she married James Ardour/Aberdour Elmslie at All Saints, East St Kilda, Victoria. The marriage notice lists her father. James was a Master Mariner and he was 27 years older than her and more than double her age.
He was the Master of the Sobraon, a passenger Clipper.
The Sobraon sailed for London two days later on 13/2/1875. Cicelia must have been travelling with her new husband and conceived early in the voyage.
The Sobraon salied from Gravesend on 29/9/1875 and arrived at Port Philip Heads on 28/12/1875. Cecilia had a daughter during this voyage born 4/12/1875.
The Sobraon then sailed from Melbourne for London on 19/2/1876 with James as the Master and his wife with servant as passengers. The ship returned from London leaving 1/10/1876 and arriving in Melbourne on 28/12/1876. Cicelia is listed as a passenger with two children and a servant so she had her second child on this voyage.
In 1881 she was age 26 and living in St Peter Martin, Bedfordshire with her five stepchildren and four children. The eldest stepchild was age 20.
In 1901 she was age 46 and living in Bedfordshire with her husband and two daughters.
