Ellen was born in 1844, in Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom. She died in her hometown, and was buried in Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom.
Originally a variant of Helen , although now no longer associated with that name. Initial H- tended to be added and dropped rather capriciously, leading to many doublets ( compare for example Esther and Hester ). It is also sometimes used as a short form of Eleanor , to which, however, it is unrelated.
