History
William Henry Rawle Ellis (1836-1909), youngest son of Robert Ellis (1797-1872) and Hannah Darby (1798-1891) of Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Robert Ellis came from Bideford, England as a cabinet-maker and the interior of St. John’s Anglican Church in St. Eleanors is evidence of his workmanship. William married Hannah Irons Preddy (1833-1873) daughter of Thomas Preedy (1803-1874) and Frances Moore (1800-1890) who emigrated prior to 1848 with 6 children and settled in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. William moved to New Zealand sometime after 1860, remarried, and died there years later. Hannah presumably lived with her sister Clarissa who had married William Weeks of Charlottetown in 1867. She died in their home at age 40. Hannah and William had one child, Robertina (1859-1889). In the 1881 census, she was described as unsound and was living with her grandmother Hannah Ellis and aunt and uncle Elizabeth Caroline Ellis (1832-1915) and Harry Compton Green (1817-1918) in Summerside.
