Hi Phil, Hi Andrew

I have a James Eland born 1860 in Cockermouth. 1881 he married Hannah Greener in Whitehaven. As far as I know they had following children: Mary; Florence May;Joseph;Jane;Hannah;John T(Jack);Robert;James and Sara -they were all born in either Whitehaven or Distington.

The family left the UK in 1904. Voyage was Liverpool to New York and they eventually settled in Pennsylvania.

Just last week I requested a marriage certificate for James Eland and Hanna Greener since I don't have a lot of info to the Elands prior to coming to the USA. Do you maybe see a connection?

Regards
Stephanie

Hi Andrew, although this reply to your post on Ancestry is nearly 9 years late !, I think I have some useful info for you.

We are related - I think you are my 2nd cousin, as my mum (Evelyn Singleton, nee Eland) was your dad's 1st cousin and we ( I have a twin brother called Jeffrey) used to visit your family when I was a teenager - did you live in Park Street in Accrington? Was your mum called Mary? Mum used to call your dad Jack and had mentioned that he was born on the Carmania, on the voyage back from America.

I have been doing family history research for about 4 years, so you started before me and may have got a lot farther. I have gone back with the Eland name to George EALAND (born around 1796 in Bridgefoot near Cockermouth).

Please do get in contact with me.

Joseph ELAND of Cumbria, UK

2009-08-24 21:20:05Z

I have just started to research my family name. My grandfather called Joseph Eland came from Cumbria around Whitehaven/Cockermouth/Workington area and married Margaret Fenwick.
Josephs brother Bob (Robert) Eland emigrated to USA around 1904 I think. Joseph visited Bob in 1911 and my father was born on the SS Carmania on their way home. His name is John Carmania Eland born 13/7/11.
Can anyone help

I am researching my Eland ancestors of Thrapston and Kettering in Northampton. Can anyone tell me where the Eland and Eland Bank was in Northampton. It was a private bank and I have been told it went bust, but I don't know where it was. I do know that it was in operation from around 1859 to about 1885, maybe longer. My ancestors names were: George Eland c1800, Stephen Eaton Eland c1800, Robert Fowler Eland c1826 Thrapston and Arthur Robert Eland born 1854 Thrapston - They were all Bankers. I would be glad of any information, no matter how small.

Re: Eland from Cumberland,UK - Pennsylvania and Canada

HOGANICS — 2008-10-24 07:41:59Z

Hello Paula,
This could be a stretch, but my GGGgrandparents were William McCartney Campbell (born 1794 Scotland) and Susanna Eland (born 1861 Lancashire). One of their daughters, Anne Campbell (born 1831 Yorkshire) married Jonathan Bell of Cumberland; my GGgrandparents. Their first 4 children were born 1854-1863 in Lancashire while the last two were in Yorkshire. Their 3rd-born, Mary Susanna Bell and husband Austin John Cross (b: 1851 Liverpool) were my great grandparents.

All my Elands so far are from Yorkshire, but the Bells are pretty evenly split among Yorkshire, Lancashire and some in Cumberland. I don't have a James Bell or Mary Eland specifically listed (perhaps just YET). But there seems to be an awful lot in common here and I know at least "Eland" was not as usual a name as the others. Am still working on this line and if any of the above rings any "Bells" (pun intended) with you or anyone else checking here, would love to discuss it further. I have plenty more details. Good Luck!

OH! I just sent the above note in response to you on another Bulletin, but that one referred to JAMES Bell while this one mentions JOHN Bell as Mary Ann Eland's spouse. I have FIVE of THEM; 4 from Cumberland and 1 from Yorkshire. I also have a William Campbell Bell (b: 1859 Lancashire) and a William Eland Bell (b: 1899 in Yorkshire). Hope these additional details will help.

Sincerely yours, Shari Hogan

farnybell — 2008-10-22 14:05:19Z

I am trying to trace a Mary Ann Eland. Thought to have been born Preston, Lancs, UK, But this could be incorrect. She was married to John William Bell. She was born 1881, I think. Any help would be good, if of course there is a match!

Baidyn,
Are you Harvey Eland's son? I remember your dad from when I was a little girl. I was sorry to hear of his passing. How is your mum? I have no recollection of you but I'm thinking we may have met before? My mum remembers you though.
Could I possibly impose upon you for the names & dates of all your grandfather's descedents? Happy to give you ours if you need them.

Re: Matthew Eland

2005-10-02 23:18:20Z

Hi Baiden,
I think we must be cousins! My grandmother did live on Bribie Island for many years. She had four brothers - Robert, Matthew, Luke & her twin brother Stephen. She also had five sisters, Mary, Edith, Jesse, Florence and Sally (order is probably wrong, don't have it in front of me). My mother is Stephanie Barbara Spackman (nee Goodlet), who was Hilda's oldest daughter.

Re: Matthew Eland

Hi,

Is that a Hilda Eland that lived in Queensland? I know a Hilda Eland who lived at Bribie Island. She was my Grandfathers sister (I think)

Re: Matthew Eland

2005-09-29 04:01:17Z

I am a descendent of Matthew Armstrong Eland, who was married in Byers Green, Durham, England in 1898 to Sarah Jane James. They arrived in Australia in 1928 on the HMS Ormond.
My grandmother is their youngest daughter, Hilda Eland.
I am seeking information and descendents.

Funnily enough, my name is actually Matthew Eland. I'm currently studying at John Moores University in England. My grandmother, May Eland, could maybe have some information of use to you. If you ever need a hand, just email me and I could help you. My father, David Eland, a teacher in a Liverpool school, could throw some clues your way.
As for us, we live, as you've probably guessed, near Liverpool in England. Although we are desended, I think from the Yorkshire family.

Thanks for the information. I attach a chart showing my father's (Frank ELAND) antecedents which might be of interest. Thomas seems to be our common ancestor - seems to me pretty certain it's the same guy. My email address is godfrey.eland@hotmail.co.uk if you would like to contact me.

Thanks for taking the trouble to contact me though.

ELAND of North Yorkshire

Pensans — 2007-12-23 21:41:11Z

Hello
I am trying to find out more about our ancestor Thomas ELAND who was born High Close (near Barforth) circa 1778. He married Hannah and they had a son, also Thomas.

I know there are other Elands from Yorkshire, but Thomas is my brick wall, and I cannot find his parents to be able to link him to any other family!!

Does anyone know anything about this Eland family?
Thank you
Janie

duncanfox35 — 2007-12-04 05:34:38Z

Jon,

My information (taken from a family tree on Ancestry) is that George's parents were Leonard Eland (20/10/1720 - 1781) who was born in Howden and Mary Jennings born in 1730 who married on 13/11/1750. Leonard's parents were Thomas Eland and Elizabeth ? both born in Howden C1695.

I would be interested in what other info you particulary if youi have anything linking the Elands back to Elland. My email address is duncan@duncanfox3.wanadoo.co.uk.

Regards,

Duncan

I'm also related to the Elands of Budwith. Abel Swan Eland (1834 to 1910) was my great, great grand father and through other info I have picked up on this site I have traced the Elands back to Thomas who was born C1695 in Howden. I would be interested to hera about what info you have.

Re: John Eland, son of George

knaptona — 2005-07-14 22:12:10Z

Hi,

I will see what I can find out about your John Eland. The 1861 census for Yorkshire, Gribthorpe shows Ann, age 57 a widow with the following children:
George C?(mar)28;
Able S?(unmar)27;
Knapton H(unmar)23;
Ellen E(unmar)24;
Eugenie Dowthwaite?(grand dau)3.
I do not think I am related to your Knaptons, but I am very interested in learning what I can about the other Knapton familes in the area.

strawbleu — 2005-06-27 12:14:50Z

I'd love to have any information relating to the Elands of Bubwith - please respond or send email to jon[at]strawbleu[dot]co[dot]uk

I eagerly await your response!

Jon

Re: John Eland, son of George

strawbleu — 2005-07-17 15:06:16Z

I am aware of the family you mention, however the your Eugenie is new to me, assumed daug of - Thomas and Ann Elizabeth Douthwaite (Eland)

Regarding Knaptons, was born 1803 to Charles, who was thought to live 1770 to 1852 - and I believe Charles' parents were William Knapton and Elizabeth Hassell (m.1765)

I am still trying to find how my family tree links in with that of the 'Elands of Bubwith' that are already documented - knowing about how the Brownbridge name came to be in the family still interests me though!

Thanks, jon

Re: Eland from Bubwith,Yorkshire.

strawbleu — 2007-12-02 20:55:43Z

I belong to the arm of the family starting with Abel's brother, Cyrus Septimus.

I would be very interested in how George Eland (their gt grandfather) links to the earlier family - as I also have a 'rash' of Elands going back to Thomas.

I'm more than happy to send you my Gedcom file if that would help you - drop me a message with your email address.

Regards, Jon

I'm happy to send my GEDCOM file to you personally if it helps.

John Eland, son of George

strawbleu — 2005-03-25 19:31:53Z

I'm still trying to get specifics on a John Eland (d.1847, m.1829 - Ann Knapton)

John is my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather and was born in or around Bubwith sometime around 1800.

One of his sons was John Brownbridge Eland, so we suspect that his father (George) was the George Eland who m. Elizabeth Brownbridge in 1794. If this is the case does anyone know anything about this family or how they tie in with the other Bubwith Elands?
