Jennie (Elliott) Elgey was born in Northumberland, England.

Birth

My Nana Jennie Elliott was born in Blyth, Tynemouth in Northumberland, England on the 5 Aug 1904, ^[1][2]

Jennie was the fourth daughter of Edward Henry Elliott and Francis Redhead. Jennie was the last born in the family, she had 8 siblings, 5 brothers and 3 sisters. Her brother James died at Passchendaele in World War One.

Residences

1855 - Blyth, Northumberland, England.

1911 - Newsham And South Blyth, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England^[3]

1950-1975 Swansea, Port Talbot, West Glamorgan Wales

1911 Census

In the 1911 census record Jennie is shown as being aged 6 years, she is living with her parents [[Elliott-9455|Edward Elliott] and] Frances Redhead also shown are shown along with Jennie 3 brothers and an older sister. They are all living in Newsham And South Blyth, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England. Line: 1 Page: 1^[3] Edwards age is given as 47 and his estimate birth year remains as 1864, his status is married and it is noted he has been married for 26 years. His occupation has changed to Working Pilot Cutter a distinct change from coal mining. It is noted that Mary Ann Rutland Elliott's age in the 1911 census is given as 11 yet she was not mention in the 1901 census so presumably born after census taken in 1901. 4 older children noted in previous census records are no longer mentioned they may have moved on, through either work, death or marriage.

Marriage

Jennie married Thomas Foster Carr Elgey on the 9 January 1926 in BLYTH, Northumberland, England.^[4]They had five daughters Jean, Ruth, Pat, Mary and Isobel

They all moved to Wales when granddad found work in the chemical works, I am uncertain as to what year this was but I believe it was about 1950

I remember visiting nana in Wales several times, but only have vague memories of granddad as he died when we lived in Kenya. Nana never appeared to be very happy, apparently my grandad had an affair and nana found out when she received a letter meant for the other lady. She believed children should be seen but not heard... difficult when we arrived as a family of six.

Death

She died in Swansea, Port talbot, West Glamorgan Wales on the 2nd July 1975 ^[5] After a short illness. Nana is buried with granddad in the cemetrey
