Ellen was listed as one of 5 servants in the household of William Waldy, a landowning magistrate and his family. The enumerator made a scrappy job of recording the servants' details, and gave Ellen an incorrect place of birth, and spelt her name wrong. She had not yet had any children and her husband was at sea.
