Hi! Thanks for your reply.

My interest in the surname 'Elsby' is my GG Grandmother, Sarah Elsby b. 1855 in Wolstanton, Staffordshire. Sarah married Henry James Fereday, they had a number of children together including my Great Grandfather, of course. I have been intensly researching Sarah. I have had much success in recent months: Her parents were George and Rachel Elsby (nee Bridgens). I am now aware of all of her siblings and most of their partners and some children. I also have additional info concerning Sarah's Elsby and Bridgens grandparents.

Hi!
I only have a handful of Danks in my tree but I am very interested in them. However, my Danks are from the mid 1700s.

Anyways, thanks for your reply and good luck with your research!
