NotesEllen Wallis married Harry (Henry) Alldridge in the March quarter of 1889 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. They had children together both before and after marriage.

A birth registration was found for Violet Alldridge: Year of Registration: 1893; Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec; District: Birmingham (1837-1924); County: Warwickshire; Volume: 6d; Page: 101.

Henry Alldridge was a drunk who beat his wife. He died in 1893 in Birmingham aged 32. In November 1894, Ellen placed William Henry and his 2 brothers John Leonard and Francis, and sister Ruth Rebecca, in the Middlemore Children's Home in Birmingham. Violet was placed later in Middlemore Homes. Notes from the home describe Ellen's plight as dire with no money to feed her 6 starving children. She sold all their possessions and furniture trying to keep the children fed. The children where in rags and infected with lice.

Ellen kept the 2 youngest children with her but then had Arthur Alldridge, an illegitimate child, before she remarried. Ellen died in 1901, aged 38. Her new husband placed the remaining 3 children in the Middlemore Home.

On December 1, 1914, at Kingston, Frontenac, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Violet Lilian Aldridge, 21, born in Birmingham to Harry Aldridge and Helen Wallace; and Charles Harry Gordon, 25, soldier, born in Manville, Quebec, Canada, to Charles Harry Gordon and Ellen Gardiner.

Violet Lillian Aldridge married Napoleon Lalime in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on June 1, 1920.
