Notice biographique
Captain Henry Bailey Ella and Martha Beeton (Cheney) Ella were early Vancouver Island settlers. She arrived from England in May 1851 with her aunt, Anne (Beeton) Blinkhorn and uncle, Thomas Blinkhorn. Martha and her relations settled at Metchosin where her uncle managed the Bliston Farm owned by Captain James Cooper. She and Captain Ella were married in 1855 and had three sons and four daughters. They relocated into Victoria in the early 1860s and subsequently built Wentworth Villa on Fort Street, which survives to this day as a heritage structure. Henry Ella died by drowning in Burrard Inlet in 1873 and Martha Ella died in 1911.
