Travelling People / Re: Solomon and Edward Elliott - Fairground showmen
« on: Tuesday 04 November 14 14:16 GMT (UK) »Hello AlisonHi there my Nan is also edie's daughter my nan is margaret saunders elizabeths baby sister i would love a photo of gt granny edie if you have one. i have a photo of solomon elliott if you would like me to send it to you let me know thanks
We do indeed have a connection. My Nan Elizabeth was the daugher of Solomon's daughter Edith Elliott so Solomon would be my GG Grandfather. My Nan married a traveller so I still have a strong Romany side of the family but I didn't know too much about my Nan's fairground side.
I was talking to my Dad about my findings so far and he said that he had heard of your Gt Grandmother as taking on all comers in my Nan's tales about the fmaily so i guess the stories definitley got passed down.
I'm desperate to see any photos of them so would be great to know if you have any. I have a couple of my Gt Granny Edie (Solomon's daughter) which I can share with you if you like.
