Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Diana Ainsley ELLIOTT birth about 1777
« on: Sunday 21 May 06 18:56 BST (UK)  »
Philip Elliott is a direct ancestor of mine, I have a certain amount of information about him including a miniature of him as a fairly mature man. He was certainly an interesting man and had a successful career as a merchant partly in London partly in Bristol. He was a tea merchant and not involved in the slave trade as far as I can see. He married an Elizabeth Munday on 3.7.1771 at Newcastle, Bridgend.
  I would be interested to hear what info you have about him.

 Many thanks for your further info. I am at present researching Prestons in Rotherhithe, as you probably know it was a major port in the 18th century and there were scores of Prestons living there, also many Roshers, maybe also Stantions.
  I had found the will and among three pages of legal verbiage it did confirm my Stanton who was obviously relatively wealthy as it talks about properties he had given Lewis Preston. Elizabeth Stanton's sister married a Rosher, also a timber merchant.
  I am away for a couple of weeks, so expect silence but I am going to London in March and will visit the LMA.and will let you know if I find anything interesting.

Very interested in your query re Samuel Stanton, my direct ancestor Lewis Preston of Rotherhithe married an Elizabeth Stanton c. 1750. She was daughter of Thomas Stanton who was a timber merchant.
  I cannot make connection with shipwright Thomas Preston but there is probably one there,the co-incidence is too great.
