Earl Soham PR - George ELLIOTT

[janglaschu]

Could someone with access to Earl Soham parish register please look for the birth of George Elliott, 1855 - I'd dearly like to find out who his parents were, as I believe he is related to my g-g-grandfather, but haven't yet established the connection,

thanks,
Janet

Thanks Suz, this may indeed be him, as he later became a carpenter also. The father of this family (William) I believe to be the brother of my great great grandfather, the age fits pretty well. This takes me a step nearer, thanks again,

Thanks Suz, this does all help to fill in the blanks. William looks very much like the brother of my g-g-grandfather; his grandchildren's names tie in with my g-grandmother's name, I am very happy to have been able to make the connnection,

thanks once again,
Janet

Hi Janet

If no one can help with this, a volunteer offers lookups from the Earl Soham PRs at The Suffolk Surname List.

Thanks Rick; I did email someone on the list a couple of weeks ago but haven't heard anything back, maybe they're just busy at the moment,

cheers,
