Life
Ellis was born in Caerwys, Flintshire, and was educated at Ruthin School before graduating from Jesus College, Oxford, with a BA degree in 1863. After being ordained in 1864,[1] he held various church positions in Wales: curate of Gresford (1864–68), vicar of Gwersyllt (1868–72), and vicar of Mold 1872–84 (also Rural Dean of Mold from 1873 to 1884). He was a friend of William Ewart Gladstone, who lived nearby in Hawarden.
He joined the Scottish Episcopal Church when he became rector of St Paul's Church in Edinburgh in 1884.[2] He was synod clerk of Edinburgh and canon of St. Mary's Cathedral, and he became Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney in 1906.[3] He was consecrated on 25 April of that year at St. Andrew's Church, Aberdeen.[4]
He wrote several theological works, including Some Aspects of Woman's Life: Five Lenten Addresses (1881), and was regarded as a strong opponent of the disestablishment of the Church in Wales. He died in his sleep at Delgatie Castle, Turriff, Aberdeenshire,[3] where he was staying as a guest of Charles Hay, 20th Earl of Erroll.[2]
