Ship S.S. Cella

Ellen Marie Owens born around 1847, born in England married a James George Barrett in Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales. She gave birth to two children, a girl Elizabeth "Lizzie " Barrett born in 1867 in Wales and a baby boy James "Llewellyn" Barrett born 1869.
She traveled to America with her two small children. They traveled on the ship "Cella" and Ellen is listed as age 22, her daughter, age 2 and her son age 3 months. Her husband traveled ahead of her and was waiting for her arrival in Atlanta, Georgia. He had set up a home for them in Ben Hill, Fulton Co., Georgia. The family is listed in the 1870 Census, Atlanta, Fulton Co., Georgia with James George Barrett head of the household age 26, from England and his wife Ellen age 22, daughter Eliz age 3 and son Llewellyn age 1 yr old. Ellen gave birth to another daughter, Agnes Ellen Barrett in 1872 in Ben Hill, Georgia. After this Ellen Marie Owens is no longer in the picture or heard of , so she either died giving birth to her third child or sometime throughout the 1870's. ( a mistake on the 1970 Census as listing Ellen, Elizabeth and Llewellyn as born in Georgia ).

Note: in the 1880 Census, James George Barrett is listed with his new wife Mary Susan Turner.
