Devon / Re: James Elliott - Dittisham

Hi
We seem to be discussing the Elliott's of Dittisham. Very confusing as there were two Elliott Familys in Dittisham in the 1800's. Peter the bootmaker lived in Sarah Elliotts Cottage in High Dittisham. This house is still there (2019). Peter the boatman lived down on the river and the house is no longer there.
Peter the boatman married Susanna Anders (Andrews) mentioned in previous posts.
They had a number of children including Lavinia who had a son on April 30 1855 who was baptised on May 27 John Frederick Elliott.
Fred joined his cousin Peter Elliott in Australia during the goldrush and they both stayed here.
Fred was my Great Great Grandfather and I would dearly like more information on him and any family history from Dittisham.
