Hi Beatrice
I was born to the south of St Just in Penwith which joins the parish of St Buryan.
There was a William Ellis in St Buryan who married a Margaret Shakerley and then lived in St Buryan. He was a baker and had a shop in the village.
My GGgf was William Ellis who married a Margaret Blackwell [of Sennen] at about the same time as the the other Wm Ellis & Marg't.
Several people in Australia have confused the 2 couples.
Not a relation that I know of, but if you need any help with the area, I still live only 7 miles from St Just where was I was born.
My maiden was Ellis.
Regards
Primrose
