This is new member Michael Ellis's surname interests.
I was born in 1953 and belong to the fourth generation of Australian born
Ellis's my great great grand-father William Ellis emigrated to Australia in 1867.
Cornish born generation which emigrated to Australia is ;
William Ellis (b1845 St Just) - married Mary (Wearne) b1848 St Just
They were married in Australia and lived on Clunes, Victoria, Australia.
William worked all his life as a miner in Clunes and later in Bendigo.

a living.
