Kezia Bishop was the sixth of the fifteen children of James Simpson Bishop and his wife Ann Bowers of Wicken, although she was born in Burwell, Cambridgeshire, along with several of her siblings (her Grandmother was living in Burwell at the time, so this probably explains the connection).
When Kezia was twenty years old, her mother died, leaving the family of fifteen children (the youngest being no more than two years old) in the charge of her widower James, a labourer, and her childless sister Sarah and her husband George Farby.
Kezia married Howarth Ellis, a gentleman's hairdresser from Burwell and it was there that they brought up their family of eight children.
Born:
