Elizabeth was the first daughter of 'William Major and Susannah Roper', and a sister to 'Thomas George Roper' (our family line).William owned a thriving coach-building and wheelwright business in ‘Swindon, Wiltshire’ and was married to ‘Susannah Pritchard’ from Monmouth. Ellen's mother ‘Elizabeth Mary Louise Roper’ (b: 11/04/1880). Two years later ‘Thomas George Roper’ (b: 03/06/1882) and another girl ‘Ellen Roper’ (b: 1884). Tragedy struck this family in 1885 when parents William and Susannah suddenly died within a short period of each other. Elizabeth went to live with her mother’s family in Monmouth. The photograph shows Ellen with her two daughters Ethel and rose. This photograph shows they obviously kept in contact. |
