Elizabeth MILLS

  • Born: Cir 1805
  • Marriage (1): Thomas INGRAM on 4 Dec 1824 in St Mary The Virgin Church, Prittlewell, Southend-On-Sea 1
  • Died: 28 Apr 1865, Southend-On-Sea, Essex, England aged about 60 2 3

Elizabeth married Thomas INGRAM, son of William INGRAM and Catherine, on 4 Dec 1824 in St Mary The Virgin Church, Prittlewell, Southend-On-Sea.1 (Thomas INGRAM was born circa 1782 in Holland, christened on 20 May 1782 in Church Of St. Thomas, Bradwell-Juxta-Mare, Essex, England 5 and died on 5 Oct 1863 in Southend-On-Sea, Essex, England 1.)


  

There were altogether eleven children from this second marriage. It will be noted that Elizabeth was 24 years his junior. Before his marriage to her, Thomas fathered an illegitimate daughter by his younger brother Robert's widow Isabella, (q.v.) who was said to be "between husbands" (sic). He was charged with a "Bastardy Order" for the birth of this child in December 1821. Thomas is also strongly suspected of being the father of his sister-in-law's second illegitimate child Louisa (q.v) in 1825. However there is no evidence to support this.

The youngest of Thomas's and Elizabeth's eleven children, James Colbert (aka Albert) who was born in 1848 went on to become an Alderman and then the Mayor of Southend-on-Sea in 1907, (see pics).

Elizabeth INGRAM, (née Mills) died at her home in 1 Grove Terrace, Southend-on-Sea on 28 April 1865. She left a Will nominating her eldest son Thomas William as sole executor. Probate was granted on 22 August 1865. Her effects were said to be under £450. 6 7
