Biography

Mary (The baptismal record of her daughter indicates name is Elen) was born about 1791. She was the daughter of John Upton and Marie Proctor. (confirmed by her death certificate, although mother listed as Mary, not Marie). She married William Childs, presumably sometime before 1823 when their daughter Eliza was born.

The 1871 Census shows her living in a household with William Childs, age 80 (occupation: cooper) and a James Childs (age 23, seaman) and a Sarah Child (age 36); James and Sarah may be married. Could James be William and Ellen's grandson? There is a note in the margins of the Census stating this family is supported by the public.

She passed away in 1875.
