Can anyone help me unravel a family mystery?
According to our records, Matthew Collings was born in Liverpool, UK, in 1828. He became a book keeper. In 1871 he married Ellen (nee Williams) and they had three children: Caroline (Cassie) b. in London, UK, on 7 Oct 1866, Ellen (Lily), b at Waterloo Terrace, Albert Road, Bexley (UK) on 16 Jan 1868 and James (Jack) b. at 11 High Street, Foot's Cray (UK) on 2 Aug 1869.
In June or July 1873 Ellen and her three children emigrated to Japan with my great grandfather, the Rev James Summers, where she had a further seven children, one of them being my grandmother, Margaret.
Does anyone have any information about why Ellen left Matthew? Did he die? Were they divorced? Did Ellen subsequently marry Summers? Our family would love to know!
