Charles & Ellen SCALES are my maternal grandmother's parents i.e. my Great Grandparents. And apart from a few dates, and photographs that my mother has, I know very little else about them! Charles SCALES was born 21 May 1852, in Baldock, in Hertfordshire, U.K. Ellen SMITH was born 11 April 1847 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. My mother has a sampler stitched by Ellen in 1861, when she was aged just 14. Charles and Ellen were married 24 September 1874, in Stevenage - this was one of the first records that I found on first using the I.G.I. Index Their children are:Without my grandmother, Florence Harriet's birthday book, I wouldn't have many, if any, of the above dates!
