18. ↑ Source: #S46 Page: 1992 discussion with Steve Nunn Data: Text: Ella and Pat knew each other quite well in Ireland, even though they were from separate towns. They'd see each other at dances now and then. Pat referred to having to walk a long way home at night after seeing her. (there were no more details about their relationship in Ireland). CONT They kept in touch when both in England, during the war. CONT Early in World War II Ella was working as a maid in Shoreham (near Brighton), and said she was worred about being bombed. It wasn't easy to travel around the country, so Pat had to go down to Shoreham to see her, and get her. They moved to Stratford upon Avon where Pat was living, and it was safer CONT It is safe to assume that they had to be engaged to travel together during the war, so Pat went to Shoreham to ask Ella to marry him.

Notes

Note N3Due to the way that Irish births were recorded, a person would have two birthdays: the actual date of birth, and the date that the Dublin records office hears about it. Ella celebrated May 25 as her birthday, although her birthday was actually May 8.
