Reasons why "Ada Ellen Chittleborough" is not "Ellen Bent".

Shared note	Reasons why "Ada Ellen Chittleborough" is not "Ellen Bent". Some sites list Ada Ellen as being the spouse of Christopher Bent, who in fact married Ellen Bent. These are some facts why it is not accurate that Ada Ellen married Christopher Bent: A birth date in 1870 means that this Ellen Bent was only 16 when she was married, which does not match her obituary which states she was 20. The obituary states "Mrs. Ellen Bent, who died on October 9 in her 85th year", which means a birth date of 1951 minus 85 which is 1866. Ellen Bent's headstone lists her death in 1951 (age 85), Ada Ellen's death is listed in the WA BDM as 1960 (age 90). NSW Registry of BDM lists a "Christopher Bent" who married a "Nellie E. Bird" in Broken Hill, 1888. This fact matches the marriage details listed in the obituary of "Mrs. Ellen Bent", given a +/- 1 yr variation. Ada Ellen is a child of James Chittleborough, not a great grand-daughter as listed in Ellen Bent's obituary. According to the Commonwealth Electoral Roll for the Barrier electorate, Ellen Bent is recorded as "Bent, Ellen Edith, Brown-street." This name does not match "Ada Ellen". Death notice of Priscilla V. GRAHAM lists Ellen Bent as a sister. Ada Ellen doesn't have a sister called Priscilla (although Ada's mother is Priscilla). A likely candidate family would be Emma Chittleborough + Alfred Bird (See note 'Why Ellen Bent (nee Bird) is a child of Alfred Bird + Emma Chittleborough'). With Ellen being a member of the Bird family, this would match the NSW Marriage record of Christopher Bent and Ellen E. Bird. The family of Emma + Alfred also had a child called Priscilla, which matches the death notice of Priscilla V. GRAHAM. If Ellen was a member of this family, it would also place her as a great grand-daughter of James Chittleborough, as documented in her Obituary. Ada Ellen CHITTLEBOROUGH died at age 90, with her burial record using her birth name. This leads to either Ada Ellen never being married, or having changed her name back after being divorced. There is no record of a marriage currently found.
