Re: Ellen Hardwicke born 1864

Terry, John
The 1891 Census for the Newton/Wilson families makes completeif we assume that Sarah Ann Newton (mother of Walter, Harry, Jane and others) was somehow missed off. The Newton Family of Walter are at 6 Court 3 H Forge Lane. The Wilson family (Harry Son in law, Jane Daughter and Lily Gdaughter are at 6 court 4 H and there is no listed head at that house. If Sarah Ann Newton was the Head then it would make perfect sense. She was still alive (died 1900)
Incidentally, in 1881 Walter and family were at that same address and Sarah Newton the mother was next door at that same address with HARRY (son) and ELLEN (d in law) and JANE, amongst others.

Re: Ellen Hardwicke born 1864

So now we have sorted Lily out, we need to find when Ellen Hardwicke died.

Did she remarry after she left Harry or vice versa?

Did Harry remarry?

In 1891 census Ellen Newton (widow) has 2 children : Leonard and Frank W.
Here they are from GRO Index
NEWTON, FRANK WILLIAM HARDWICK
GRO Reference: 1885 J Quarter in ECCLESALL BIERLOW Volume 09C Page 406
NEWTON, LEONARD HOLLINGSWORTH HARDWICK
GRO Reference: 1883 J Quarter in SHEFFIELD Volume 09C Page 573

Frank William died in 1900
Newton Frank William 15 Sheffield 9c 378

His burial is on FMP at St Philip
Frank Newton, SON OF HENRY NEWTON DECEASED, Age 15 yrs buried 8th June 1900. Address 7 Ct Attercliffe Road

The death cert should reveal who registered the death. Was it Ellen? Sounds like a good investment.

Leonard Hollingsworth Newton married in 1904,
He named his father as FRANK NEWTON DECEASED.

Harry Newtons sister Jane had an illegitimate child called HARRY in 1885 (died age 6months at 6 court Forge Lane, buried Gen Cem) and his brother Walter named a son HARRY in 1890 (died age 4 months at 6 Ct Forge Lane, buried Gen Cem).
Does that sort of tentatively imply that Harry may have died in the early 1880s?.
