Frances "Fannie" (Elms) Commons
Born on Jan 31, 1877 in Wales and died on Oct 5, 1948 in PA

Daughter of William and Eleanor/Elinor "Ellen" (Frowen) Elms. Ellen's maiden name was incorrectly thought to be Williams; now proven Frowen. See Ellen's Find A Grave memorial page for details.

Sister of:
1) William Charles Elms; b) Nov 9, 1871 in Wales; d) Mar 7, 1958; married Maggie Josephine Stokes.
2) Elizabeth "Lizzie" Elms; b) Dec 6,1874 in Wales; d) Nov 14, 1945; married Daniel H. Higley.
3) Rachel Elms; b) Aug 26, 1880 in Wales; d) Jul 12, 1956 in Ohio, buried in PA; married John D. Siford.
4) Ann Jane "Jennie" Elms; b) July 11, 1882 in PA; d) Jan 17, 1961; married John Glenton Simpson – as a side note on Census, Jennie stated she was born in OH or WVA. However, on her death certificate her son John Jr provided she was born in Chesterfield, Bigler Township, PA which makes more sense than OH or WVA since there's no evidence that her parents ever lived in either of those two states.
5) Ellen "Nellie" Mae Elms; b) Aug 7, 1883 in PA; d) Nov 22, 1912 in MD; married 1st Charles Edward Witters, married 2nd Ellrie Ingram Morgan.
6) Mary E. Elms; b) May 6, 1888 in PA; d) Mar 2, 1953; married John "Jack" McGlynn.
7) James Elms; b) Dec 31, 1890 in PA; d) Jan 12, 1892 in PA; age 1 year and 12 days.

Note: The first four (4) children's birth dates and locations are correct per their birth certificates (Fannie is #3).

Wife of Louis Trebilcock/Commons; married on Oct 7, 1894. Son of Edwin and Hannah Trebilcock.

NOTE: Fannie and Louis' marriage certificate give his surname and his parents surname as Trebilcock. His first-born children's birth certificates make their surname Trebilcock. One child's birth certificate has Trebilcock crossed out and handwritten above it states Commons. Their later born children's birth certificates give their surname as Commons. Therefore, the assumption is he changed his surname at some point after he married and was having children.

Fannie and Louis had four (4) children. They are:
1) Margaret Elizabeth; b) Mar 4, 1892; d) Apr 3, 1961; married John Richard Lynch on Aug 24, 1909
2) Ethel Mary; b) abt 1894; married Charles Edward Kelley on Dec 24, 1915
3) Daisy Ruth; b) Mar 23, 1908; d) Jul 1983; married Edwin E. Lacey
4) William Edwin; b) Nov 15, 1912; d) Feb 14, 1987; married 1st Ruth Adele Jacobson on Dec 27, 1939 d) Mar 6, 1957; married 2nd Effa Delozier

The Elms surname has been written/spelled as Elems, Elums, Elams, Elmer, Elemes, Elmes, Helmes, Alam, and Allens in Census and other records.
