History
Thomas Preedy (1803-1874) and Frances Moore (1800-1890), emigrated prior to 1848 with 6 children and settled in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Thomas and Frances worked for many years as keeper and housekeeper of the Colonial Building and the family lived in the basement of the building. In 1858, their daugthter Hannah married William Henry Rawle Ellis (1836-1909), youngest son of Robert Ellis (1797-1872) and Hannah Darby (1798-1891) of Summerside, PEI. Hannah’s husband, William, moved to New Zealand sometime after 1860, remarried, and died there years later. Hannah presumably lived with her sister Clarissa who had married William Weeks of Charlottetown in 1867. She died in their home at age 40. Hannah and William had one child, Robertina (1859-1889). In the 1881 census, she was described as unsound and was living with her grandmother Hannah Ellis and aunt and uncle Elizabeth Caroline Ellis (1832-1915) and Harry Compton Green (1817-1918) in Summerside.
