John Hugh Mortimer Ellis

[Teresa Maria]

On the site of the Battle of Britain Monument, it is written that he was an only son.
Was he an only child, or did he have a sister but was just the only boy in the family?

Thank you in advance.

Well, I've decided to reactivate this thread after two years... Maybe this time I'll have more luck?

Hello Teresa,


John Hugh Mortimer Ellis was born in Chesterton in the June 1919 Qtr (this means any time between June and September - the only way to get an exact date is to purchase the birth certificate from the GRO).


Mother's maiden name was Mortimer. There are plenty of Ellises with mother's name Mortimer, but as far as those born in Chesterton go, he appears to have been an only child.

Dear Dave,
Thank you very much for your answer. As for his date of birth, he was born on 2 April 1919: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...Mortimer+Ellis (The author of a book which devotes a chapter to him answered me in 2012.)


So, he appears to have been an only child... His death must have been particularly tragic for his family... Poor Hugh!
