Marriage Notes 




110117:

Andrew and Eric are a gay couple, friends of Nicola. The Legacy programme has not caught up with the times and there is no way to properly record a same sex marriage though they say they are working on it. Nicola was the "best man" at their marriage. She was also the surrogate mother of their child, Talia.

It was as a result of this wealth of land in the area of St. John's that was later to be where most businesses were set up that the so-called Ellis Estate came into being. The lands that went to Christopher Archer's grandaughter, Anne Smith, who married Nicholas Ellis, formed the basis of this substantial empire.
