Ada was the second of four children of John Henry Ellis (born 1876 in Fremantle, WA) and Edith Louisa Ford (born 1874 in Newcastle, NSW). John, a Labourer, married Edith in Fremantle, WA in 1909 and they went gold prospecting before settling at Subiaco in Perth, WA by 1912.
Ada was a Shop Assistant when she enlisted in the RAAF in February 1943. She was an Aircraftwoman (Service No:103722) attached to 5 Personnel Depot (Staff) when she was Discharged in April 1946.
