This grave is at All Saints, Bisham.
In loving memory of Mary the beloved wife of Arthur John Ellis. Entered into rest September 17 1913 aged 37 years.
Also to Ethel Alice Ellis. I couldn't read the line that followed her name. But see notes below:
Notes by Charlotte:
Mary was nee Currell.
Ethel Alice was the daughter of Mary and Arthur. She was aged 1 on the 1901 census and was a schoolgirl in 1911.
Arthur John Ellis of Bisham nephew of the above Arthur John Ellis died in France in 1930 after falling into a waterfall at the Gorges de Loup. He was one of a party of sailors from the Royal Navy ship Revenge having a day out together. He was 21 at the time and climbed onto some railings so that his friends could get a dramatic picture of him to send to his sweetheart in London. Unfortunately he overbalanced and fell in.
Arthur John Ellis senior, husband of the Mary on the grave was a Bisham special constable, a carpenter and a wheelwright. The 1911 census states he worked in the capacity of carpenter at a paper mill. This may have been at Marlow.
