Ernest Hope Ellis (ernie)
Hi saw your blog on ushaw moor.
Ernest Hope Ellis (10 Oct 1939 - 27 Jun 2007 )
my father law Ernie recently passed away , and worked in the mine till it
closed in 1960,
and eventually followed the mine work to Calverton in Nottingham.
i saw the name HOPE mentioned by several families.
so i'am assuming Ernie is a relative to someone.
Ernies parents were George Henry Ellis and Ida Hope( born 17 May 1916).
Ernie has two brothers Bill and Ronald Ellis , and a sister Elsie.
If anyone can help me fill in some more blanks , it would very interesting
Thanks
Matt
