Ellen Eliza Hindley

My great grandmother, Ellen Eliza Hindley was born 27 September 1888 at Seaforth to Rhoda Eugenie Stephens and Richard Henry Hindley.



She was baptised on 21 April 1889 at Christ Church, Liverpool.


 Her brother’s and sisters were
  • Rhoda E A Hindley (1878-?), 
  • Annie H M Hindley (1880-1945), 
  • Richard W Hindley (1872-1952), 
  • John Henry Hindley (1885-1946), 
  • George Edward Hindley (1894-1918)
  •  Gertrude Elsie Hindley (1897-1972).
She married Ernest Heywood (1877-1939, my great grandfather) in Bolton in October 1909, and they had the following children:
  • Hilda Heywood later Smith(1909-?), 
  • George Ernest Heywood (1914-1979, my granddad), 
  • Harold Heywood (1917-1921), 
  • Emily Heywood (1920-1921), 
  • William Heywood (1922-1922), 
  • Gladys Heywood (1924-1997) later Vasco, 
  • Leslie Heywood (1926-1927), 
  • Alfred Heywood (1928-1977).
After Ernest’s death she married Wilfred Jones in 1941. She died following a collision with a bus (even though the death certificate says a car it was definitely a bus) on 17 February 1962 and is buried in Anfield Cemetery.
