Individual Details
Ada Louisa Wells
(8 May 1872 - 4 Jan 1936)
COMMENT: Surname seems odd: She is listed this way in the Pilling book, but the Ancestral File lists her father as shown here which would imply her maiden name could have been Carlsen. On the other hand her firstborn son has Wells as a given name. It may be that her mother was "moneyed", and in exchange for a generous legacy passed the maternal family name on.

Endnotes
1. Maxine Pilling Rodgers, "Richard Pilling, A Family Heritage" It should be mentioned that although all references to this volume are listed as "Questionable", this is because the book is neither a valid primary or secondary source. Despite this, it should be observed that almost all the contemporary entries in it come as the result of correspondence with the immediate families of the individuals listed. The true level of reliability is probably more close to that of "Living Information". (Red Deer, by the author, 1980), P.280.
