(Ellen’s parents separated while a little girl: her
sister, Annie Amelia, moved with her mother
& William Sparks to Rickmansworth, Herts,
and Ellen lived with her father in the home of
her aunt & uncle, Henry & Mary Higgs, in
London. Ellen went 'into service' at an early
age with a wealthy Jewish family in Hampstead.
She was proud of her Cockney heritage and
would dance a spirited “Knees up Mother Brown” at family
parties. She had navy blue eyes and, according to Mamalily:
"If she had a glass of stout & a bar of Fry's chocolate cream
she thought she had the world." )
