Hello Jim

Solomon is my gg grandfather.  My Nan Elizabeth was the daughter of Edith Solomon's daughter.  If you want to let me have an email address I have a few photos I can share with you.

Hello Alison

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.

Thanks very much for this.  Do you know where on line I can look that up?  I tried on ancestry.com but nothing came up.

Thanks

Don't know if anyone can help me but I'm trying to find information about my family members Edward Elliott and his son Solomon.  I remember my Nan telling me they ran a boxing Booth at fairgrounds.

Solomon was born in Taunton in 1838 and I have a census entry from 1871 which shows them in Christchurch and lists Edward's occupation as 'showman'.  It list edward's birthplace as Scotland.

I don't really know much about my Nan's side of the family so I'd be really interested if anyone knows anything about them or has a connection to share.

Thanks
