Helen GALLOWAY

On the Galloway side I have incorporated the birth dates of all George Galloway's children. These were discovered by Norman Carpenter in the Galloway Family Bible which I believe he saw at Ronald Galloway's house, 74 Miskin Street, Treherbert when he visited there on 21 July 1966.
All the Scottish Galloways were born at Hatton Burn Farm and all christened at Balgedie Presbyterian Church.

She is shown in the 1851 census data of orwell (age 8)


William Sowerby Dudley Ward ENSELL

Note from Nigel Scott-Moncrieff
William married Harriet Clarke - at least, Harriet was his third 'wife' but no trace of a marriage certificate can be found and family tradition suggests that he never married her. There is a Harriet Clarke designated as 'servant' in the 1851 census, but on Henry's birth certificate, she is the mother 'Harriet Ensell nee Clarke'

William was a hopeless gambler and claimed to be the 1st cousin of Lord Ward, Earl of Dudley - hence his flamboyant name which was his own doing later in life. There is a plausible theory that he was the illegitimate son of the said Lord by his mother Elizabeth 'Betsy' Gwinnett who was employed in the good Lord's household at the time of William's conception. Fanciful? possibly, but it is a fondly held family tradition!!!


Harriet CLARKE

Note from Nigel Scott-Moncrieff
Frederick who seems to have loathed his father and Harriet & son Frederick left William and moved back to her family inRugeley, Staffs, where she died ?in the 1880s
