  • Notes 
    • There is conflicting evidence of John's mother's first name, given as Mary in his baptism record, but Ann in an Affiliation Notice dated March 7 1838. This was delivered to Hiram Anderson, waterman, on March 16 1838 by the Warrington Overseers of the Poor stating that they would seek an Order of Affiliation and Maintenance at the General Quarter Sessions in Kirkdale (Liverpool) on April 19 1838 "of a male child born a Bastard on the body of Ann Ellis, singlewoman of Warrington, who is poor and unable to support the said child" and that she "charges you with being the true and only putative father". The date of the Notice was five days before Hiram Anderson married Rachel Davies.
      John was baptised as son of Hiram (waterman) and Mary Ellis, and is in Warrington workouse in 1841 age 6 with syster Elizabeth. Surname entered as Heanderson in marriage record on Lancs OPC, Handerson on IGI.
      Named in Hiram Anderson's will as his illegitimate son, "John Ellis, now trading as John Ellis Anderson", to whom he left ?100, "this being quite sufficient after the great financial assistance he has had from me from time to time".
      His own 1924 probate record states: "Anderson, John Ellis (the elder) of 352 Beckwith St, Birkenhead, died 23 December 1923. Probate London 26 January to John Ellis Anderson (the younger) waterman and Elizabeth Ellen Anderson (wife of the said John Ellis Anderson jun). Effects ?4,026.13s.1."
