The following link has a burial record of the Merion Meeting Graveyard, Montgomery, PA which talks about the Ellis family http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/montgomery/church/merion09.txt
(Search for Mary Elizabeth Ellis)
From this obituary/record I have assumed the following:
Sarah Ellis married John Wilcox of Philadelphia.
(John H. Wilcox>John Wilcox>James Willcox>Thomas Willcox)
Sarah's Parents:
Jonathan Ellis of Haverford Township, Delaware County, PA
Mother?
Sarah's Siblings:
Samuel Ellis - b. 1809
George Ellis
Thomas Ellis
Mary Ellis Hansell (married Ezra Hansell)
The Ellis Family were early residents of Haverford township. Letters
of Administration on the estate of Jonathan Ellis of Haverford were granted at
Media, Delaware Co. to Jesse Ellis, March 2, 1798.

Samuel E. Willcox death certificate
Today I found a death certificate for Samuel E. Willcox. The information that it gave me was:
1) His parents are John H. Willcox and Sarah Ellis
2) He was born 8 Aug 1840 and died 30 May 1909. He was 68 years old.
2) His address at time of death was 4239 Jacawanna (or Sacawanna?) Sr - 23rd Ward - I need to make sense of this address
3) He was born in Philadelphia - so in 1840 John H & Sarah were in the Philadelphia area.
4) His occupation was cotton manufacturer
5) Place of burial Leverington Ave (*see note)
Conclusions:
1) Source to verify his parents' names,
2) Most likely the same John and Sarah who "removed to Kensington" in other documents - because this is in the Kensington area (the undertaker's address is Kensington).
