Nicola,
I am just starting to delve into my past and was amazed to come across your post. I am the great, great, grandson of Eli Pike through Eli jnr, his son Harold and his son, my father Eric.
As far as my dad knew we had always been a Taunton family but it looks like we have Devon ancestry.
I wonder if you any names and dates proir to Eli you could share.
Best Regards & thanks for gettig my search off to great start.

Steve,
My Great Great Grandfather was also Eli Pike, I am through his other Son Harry R Pike who was a Dairy man, how odd that you have a father called Eric and so do I on the same tree lines, my Grandmother was Louisa May Pike b1899 who is the Daughter of Harry R Pike who is the son of Eli, Louisa May married John Taylor abt 1917/18 and had my father:Eric, looks like we might be related! We live in Keighley which is about 10 miles from Skipton, North Yorkshire, I can be contacted on (*) if you would like to chat further.
Best regards
