Looking for Family of Ted Ellis Best and Fairest Player Footscray 1942

I am curious to know if Ted Ellis who played football for Footscray and North Melbourne, as did two sons of his, Lindsay and Kingsley, is related.

His grandson is singer Daniel Merriweather.

We are descendants of Edward Woodrow Tregenza Ellis and Frances Ellis, nee Tonkin, who arrived in Victoria in the 1850's on a ship called the "Hooghly". Several sons were born to them: Edward, Richard, Francis, Alfred, Charles and William.
