There's an Edward L Elliot, age 10, born Liskeard on the '51 Census with parents Thomas, born Liskeard and Mary Jane, born Barking (Essex).

Couldn't spot a marriage on Cornish marriage on Cornwall OPC but FindMyPast has the marriage of -
Thomas Elliott and Mary Jane Lower, both of the Parish of St Andrew, Plymouth, 23 May 1833, both signed register, witnesses Jane Coath (?), William White.

Thanks hanes, I'd just spent an hour or so looking for that marriage, without luck! I don't have a FindMyPast subscription though so much appreciate your assistance. Also the reference in the '51 census.

You can see the marriage register on FamilySearch - FREE but you need to register.

Added - the family can be found on the '41 Census quite readily tho' too early for Edward

Correction - Ed is there!

Thanks again Hanes. I tried searching Ancestry for 'Ellert' on the 1861 census, without luck
How do I search for page you referenced please?

[CaroleW]

If you use Ancestry they are correctly shown as Elliot

Thomas 53 b Liskeard - cooper
Mary J 60 b Barking Essex
Edward L 20 b Liskeard

Living in Church St Liskeard

Of course, it may have been ttanscribed as "Elliot/t" with ANC and I'm not familiar enough with Ancestry to advise how to search under Census reference.

But can you search Anc by location only plus place of birth?. I searched FindMyPast by entering location as"Liskeard" and Place of birth as "Barking" - nothing else. There are not many living in Liskeard in 1861 and born in Barking. But Ed's mother Mary is!

Alternatively, search for Thomas (no last name), born 1808 (exact year), place of birth Liskeard, occupation cooper.

Else a better qualified Rootschatter is certain to answer your call about searching under reference.

Added - problem solved!!
