Born at sea

Hi Helena,

Do you know the name of the ship on which she was born? Her mother's name must be recorded somewhere in the ships log. What was her religion. The name "Ellis" was in many parts of Ireland in the 1840's.

Good Luck with your search.

Regards,

Hi,
I couldn't find anything on Anna in Ireland or England.
So I searched for her son and got this.....................
There is a tree in familysearch.org with Johanna Dorathea Ellis married to Christiaan Vosloo.
They have three children and one is Patrick Hendrick Vosloo.
It is Johanna's Grandfather that was born in Dublin, Ireland.

Thank you all for your replies. I have no other information. Only her names and birth surname and the year she was born. Her husband's name is a common one in the Vosloo clan and so is her son's name. I have explored all options available to me on the South African sites. I have explored the passenger lists from UK, however, the amazing group who started the lists, was only able to start from 1850. I found a Mary Ann Ellis and an Edmund Ellis, who sailed to Port Natal in South Africa, but no further information.  Margot, thank you. The names Johanna Dorothea, runs deep in our family. They were my mother's names and her mother's too. the daughter of my great grandfather, Patrick Henry Vosloo. I am now researching page by page, the birth and death notices on the Family search site, hoping for a hit on either Christiaan or Anna Sophia. I know that Christiaan was born before 1845 and passed before 1925. His parents were Arnoldus Francois Vosloo and Margaretha Christina Vosloo (Cloete). 

Again, I appreciate your input.

Helena
