Alice M Shackford, the daughter of Charles Chauncy and Martha Gould (Bartlett) Shackford was born May 28, 1849 in Lynn, Massachusetts. We find her with her parents in Lynn, Boston, and Ithaca, NY in the 1850, 1855, 1860, 1865, 1870, and 1875 census.
On Dec 2 1875, when she was 26, Alice was given in marriage by her father to Edward E Ellis. Her marriage was announced in the Watkin’s Express and Ithaca Daily Journal.
MARRIED.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Alice
Shackford, eldest daughter of the Rev. Prof. C. C. Shackford, of Cornell University, was married to a young gentleman of Boston, Mr. Edward Ellis. The ceremony was performed by the bride’s father, at his residence, in the presence of a few invited friends, consisting of the Professors of the University and
their wives, Dr. and Mrs. Stebbins, and
a few relatives. All the arrangements were beautiful in their simplicity. After receiving the congratulations of their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis started on a short wedding trip which will terminate at Boston, where they will purpose taking up their residence.
Alice and Edward lived with his mother Charlotte in Boston where he worked as a commission merchant and manager of a cotton factory while she raised their twin daughters Kate and Harriet. They moved to Brookline and spent their summers in Gloucester at the corner of Nautilus rd and Bass Rocks. Edward died in 1925 in Gloucester and Alice died in 1932. Edward, Alice and their two daughters who both died in 1955 were buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge.

Katherine (Kate) Ellis – (1878-1955) – never married, worked as a teacher and social worker
Harriet May Ellis (1878-1955) – never married, worked as a social worker in her later years
