Ellen Parr
Ellen Parr
On 26 June 1855, in Wargrave, she was baptised Ellen Soper, the third daughter of Daniel and Prudence Soper. Aged 6, she was living with her parents at Ivy Cottage, St. Giles, Reading. No certain evidence has been found as to her whereabouts in the 1871 and 1881 census. In 1887 she married Thomas Weston, a Carriage Painter. At this time her widowed mother Mrs. Prudence Soper was the proprietor of the greengrocer and game dealership at 109 Bartholomew Street (ref. 1887 Kelly's Directory). The 1891 census records that Ellen and Thomas had taken over the shop at 109 Bartholomew Street and her mother had moved to 7 Kimbers Almshouses. On 7 December 1897 her husband Thomas died aged 47 years from general paralysis at the Berkshire Asylum, Moulsford (ref. Berkshire Chronicle 25/12/1897).
She later married widower Stephen Richard Parr, a Wheelwright and Builder, in 1899, and the greengrocer's business continued under the Parr title.
She died aged 68 years in November 1923 and she was buried on 14 November 1923.
