Hi,
I was wondering if anybody is able to look up in the burial records for deaths of Ellerby between 1816 and 1841.
Reason I ask is that I have James Ellerby born 1810, he marries on 19 Jan 1839 in Boynton, he was born in 1810 in Wold Newton to Robert and Ann Ellerby. They also had a son Joshua born 1816. I can find nothing about Joshua at all.
I have found a couple of interesting newspaper articles on Robert Ellerby, he attempted to run 100 miles in two days (had to stop 13 miles short, due to his swollen legs), this was in 1814, so I presume he was reasonably young at this point. Also there is an article in 1808, to say that he knew nothing about his wife Ann's debts prior to their marriage.
I know nothing about Robert, Ann and Joshua apart from the information above, was hoping from the burial records to get ages for Robert and Ann, and to confirm that Joshua died, and it is not a case I am missing him. There doesn't appear to be records for other Ellerbys in Wold Newton, so am guessing Robert at least was not born there.
Any help would be most appreciated.
