Ellen was born in Birmingham, the daughter of Albert and Elizabeth. Her father had various jobs over the years such as jeweller's clerk, brewer's clerk and plumber. Ellen, also known as Helen, trained as a dressmaker. By 1901, Albert had moved the family to Penge in Surrey where Ellen met Frederick Quin who came from Beckenham. They married on 22nd April 1905 in Penge. The couple moved to Shirley, Croydon where Frederick found a job as a chauffeur. Violet Helen was born in 1905, followed by Gladys Gwendoline in 1907, Freda in 1911 and Gordon Frederick in 1914. By the birth of the youngest child, the family had moved to Cuckfield in Sussex.
