Eleanor Fullerton

   Cause of her death was Senility.

   Other names for Eleanor were Helen and Ellen Fullerton.

  General Notes:

There is both a Church record and a Civil record of her marriage with George. The Civil record records that George was a Gamekeeper, aged 22, address as Derrycar, and that he was a Bachelor. His father is named as William, a Labourer. Eleanor is named as Ellen, aged 22, living at Tullyroan and a Spinster. Her father is named as John, a Labourer. Witnesses were Alfred Hickie and James Mills. Her age at 22 would be incorrect as she was in fact 19. This may have been to avoid the requirement of parental permission prior to attainment of the "full age" of 21 (which she is stated to have attained on the document). The Church wedding took place in the Killyman Church of Ireland.

At the time of the 1881 Census she was living at 18 North St, Barony, Glasgow. Her husband was recorded as 53 years of age, a General Labourer, born Ireland. Ellen was aged 28, born Ireland; daughter Ann Jane, aged 6, born Glasgow; son George, aged 3, born Glasgow. Also living here was a William J., recorded as "son", aged 2, born Glasgow. In fact no record can be found of a William Hill born in Glasgow in 1879. I believe this is actually William J Fullerton, the illegitimate son of her sister, Mary Jane (who was also living at this same address with her new husband). Also living here was a Boarder, Mary Campbell, 27 a French Polisher, born in Skye, Inverness.

At the time of the 1911 Census she was living with her new husband Robert Miller at 3 Parliamentary Rd in Glasgow. Robert was aged 56, a Chemical worker, born in Ireland. Living here also were Ellen's sons from her first marriage: George Hill, 34, single, a Blacksmith's helper; Edward Hill, 29, single, a French Polisher; and David Hill, 24, single, a Butcher.

Sadly both Edward and David were killed in action in WW1.

On various documents including her first Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificates for David, Edward & George, and her second Marriage Certificate in 1911, she made her mark instead of signing which tells us she could not write.
