bullet  General Notes

Ellen Mary Bell (b. 24 May 1886) was born in the Eastney Barracks, but her mother died (4 Oct 1886), and  on October 10, 1886, she seems to have been baptized "Ellen Mary Sturgess."  Of course, this made it much harder for Keith Bell to find records on her.  This baptismal strategy may have made it easier for Barnardo's Homes to adopt Ellen Mary out.  She may have been adopted to a couple in or going to Canada.  More facts are not known.
