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.

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.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.

Frank Aldridge was adopted by the McQuarrie family in Queen's County, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Francis Al(l)dridge married a woman named Helen and the couple had at least one child.
