Hope this may fill in one or two gaps
Elias 1810-88 latterly  lived at Tucker Farm Bamford, after Thornhill
Hannah Marie, b. 1850, dr. of Elias & Nancy Married a Thomas Bennett.
Elias 1860-1896, m. Emma Barber, b. Castleton 1853,d. 1930, both buried at Bamford. They also lived at Tucker Farm, Bamford  then Coombs Farm, Bakewell where Elias Died aged only 36! Emma & family believed to have moved to Glossop before finally returning to Bamford.
His family were-  Charles b, 1886, Emigrated to Australia, returned before WW1, then back to Australia. N/I.  John b.1886 N/I.  Eliozabeth, Spinster, Post Mistress at Hope P.O. in 1940’s. Harold, 1895-1916 Killed, Somme.  Lillian, 1889-1979. 
May, 1885, 4mths. John 1884-6, Scalded.
Descendants of Jacob now farm at Hazelbadge Farm, Bradwell, Hope Valley.
The earliest Ancestor of mine was George Roworth/Rowarth/Raworth?? 1580-1636, Priestcliffe, Monsal Dale, Gt. Longstone.  His Grandson, Anthony, 1650-1715 was the first to settle at Thornhill. My surname is spelled Roworth, it all depended on how the vicar wrote it down, the surname varied down the centuries, just look at the gravestones in Hope Churchyard!
I have a full copy of male line if you want it.
Anyone reading this with any other info. or corrections, please let me know, particularly about  Mary.

7. Elias 1771-1859 m. Sarah ?, d. Mar. 25, 1821 aged 40 yr
                      Elias & Sarah had two boys & one girl.
                     
8.Elias 1810, I believe you know the rest. He was the last to live at Ryecroft Farm,  Thornhill

My Gt.Gt.Gt. Grandfather , William, was one of  6.Elias’s brothers.

I'm a descendant of 7. Elias & Sarah's daughter Martha. 

She had a son John Rauworth (apparently out of wedlock) born Aug. 31st, 1839. Christening 29 Sep 1839

She then married Charles Wood Cheetham in 1844 and together they had three children:
Ann Cheetham b. May 25, 1845
Abraham Cheetham b. July 29,  1847
Emma Amanda Cheetham b. Feb 11, 1850
Tom Cheetham b. Feb. 12, 1852

Martha lived until at least the 1881 Census when she was living in Stockport with her son Tom, and the (orphaned?) children of Ann and her husband Dionysius Berry.
