Hi
If the offer is still open, I am looking for any info about those with the surname ELLIOTT. My 4 x great grandmother Anne Elliott had three children.
Elizabeth daughter of Ann Elliott christened 21 April 1794
James daughter of Ann Elliott christened 5 February 1797
Richard son of Ann Elliott christened 6 January 1804
All three were born out of wedlock and therefore the father, or fathers, name(s) are now lost forever. Following on from these birth entries came the rather sad news in the burial register
"Ann Elliott buried 29 January 1804, a single woman. Also son Richard buried 19 January 1804, the spurious son of Ann."
There is an Ann Elliott christened in 1775, father Thomas and mother Ann and a fair sprinkling through the register of Ellicock's and Ellot's also. There is an entry for marriage in South Normanton for Thomas Elliott m Ann PARSONS on 26 Dec 1739 which may be the next level upwards.
What happened to the two children after Anne’s death is unknown but I would assume a relative in the area cared them for before being they were sent out to work. Both survived to be present in later census records. Unfortunately, neither was married after civil registration was introduced in the late 1830’s, as it would have been interesting to see if a father’s name had been entered on the marriage registry.
Any references in your book would be welcome. There are no bastardy orders or removals by the way.
