• Biography: There may be a problen here as Ellen was born in 1885, the same year as her brother Henry, according to Richard's records. Richard also says that William Snelson ( 1849-1900 ) married twice. Even so, the close proximity of these birth dates is suspicious, unless of course this was the cause of the second marriage !
