Charles SCALES & Ellen SMITH

Charles SCALES & Ellen SMITH


        Charles & Ellen SCALES are my maternal grandmother's parents i.e. my Great Grandparents.
        And apart from a few dates, and photographs that my mother has, I know very little else about them!

        Charles SCALES was born 21 May 1852, in Baldock, in Hertfordshire, U.K.  

        Ellen SMITH was born 11 April 1847 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
        My mother has a sampler stitched by Ellen in 1861, when she was aged just 14. 

        Charles and Ellen were married 24 September 1874, in Stevenage - this was one of the first records that 
        I found on first using the I.G.I. Index 

        Their children are:  
 
Charles born abt 1875/6 . died, aged 6 months
Bertram Charles born 28 September 1879 in Clothall, Hertfordshire

Florence Harriet born 21 January 1887 in Baldock, Hertfordshire
Daisy Beatrice born 22 March 1889 in Wisbech, Cambs. died 1993 - aged 104 years.
Without my grandmother, Florence Harriet's birthday book, I wouldn't have many, if any, of the above dates! On the 1881 U.K. Census, we find Charles & Ellen living at Clothall End, Clothall, Hertford:
