Ellingham Photo

My mom recently gave me some photos that she thought that I would like (she knows me so well).  My favorite in the bunch is this one.  I believe it to be my maternal 2x great grandmother, Charlotte Biot Ellingham (Cenie's mom) and this is why I think that.

The first clue is the name "Ellingham" across the top rear of the photo.  Charlotte married John Ellingham in 1896 in Brooklyn.  In the 1900 census, she is listed as the wife of John Ellingham living at 426 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY.





The second clue is c/o Ms. Wilson 872 Herkimer Street.  If I look at Charlotte's mother, Julia Biot, in the 1900 census.  Mrs. Mary Wilson is her neighbor as she lives at 883.


 So based on this, I've come to the conclusion that this is Charlotte Biot Ellingham in her 20's.

What do you think?

 

UPDATE: Aunt El confirmed this is Charlotte Biot Ellingham, Cenie's mother. Thanks Aunt El!
