Missing from the family home was Lucy Ellis. The story passed down the family was that she left home aged 12 to work as a domestic servant in
London because of a violent or alcoholic father. Essentially the facts tend to support this, though her first step was to go into domestic service just over
7 miles from the family home in Twywell.
