StellaS77 — 2009-11-06 20:46:59Z

Greetings,

I just found a new online bookstore that gives away FREE SEARCHABLE CD-ROM with the purchase of any family history book, they have over 20,000 titles to choose from, I just tought that I will pass it along to you.

Their address is www.ancestralbooks.com

Books that I was able to find from their website for my research:

The John Elliot Family of Boscawen, New Hampshire - by Kimball, Henry Ames
Concord, NH , 1918

I would like some info on...

kidz2luv — 2009-11-03 20:28:12Z

I know this is a long shot, but is there a way for me to find this info out about a religious affiliation?

I thought at one time that I heard that my grandmother, Edna Elliot (Rash) Fournier, was an anabaptist or something in that genre but left her church to become a catholic to marry my grandfather, Joseph Fournier, but I am not sure and I would really like to find out.

Is there some way to look up last names in a church database for Mennonite/Anabaptist or the like?

Thanks for reading, hope someone can help. :D

Looking for the ? Eliot who had a baby when she was 18/19 and living in Clarksburg Harrison Co Wv. That lady gave the baby up for adoption to the Hymes family (William and Esther) who lived in Clarksburg Harrison Co WV.The baby was 3 days old when adopted. The Hymes family moved to a area that was called NEW HILL in Harrison Co Wv. The reason for finding the birth mother is to find out medical history and it is needed.

Need help finding Helen Menefee-Elliot wife of Walter

clydejackson2101 — 2009-09-03 14:36:33Z

I am searching for my great aunt Helen. She was born in 1919 in Ky and married Water Elliot. Her parents are Ira and Mattie Menefee and her siblings are Mary, Caroline, and Ira Jr. Last known whereabouts was that she lives in Arizona but we are not sure where. All of her brothers and sisters have passed on so we have no way of finding her. I would appreciate any info that someone might have in helping us locate her.

Robert Elliot

adnilriom — 2009-08-24 17:04:53Z

Does anyone have any connection to, or information about a Robert Ellis, living as a lodger in Birkenhead in the early 1940s? He may not have originated from Birkenhead (Ireland?).
I believe he worked for Cammell Laird shipyard.

Thanks Nancy - and likewise I'll keep your Elliot family in mind while researching.

nmyers167 — 2009-07-21 14:45:20Z

As far as I know, he was a miner and died in 1900. He had a son named James, perhaps that is a connection to your James. I know that there are other James' in the family tree; as I collect information I will keep you in mind.

Hello from Australia

Can you tell me is your James Elliot was a shoemaker?

I've hit a brick wall and was wondering if we may be on the same trace!!!

Cheers Kay

Re: JAMES ELLIOT

kaycsps — 2009-07-06 09:50:46Z

Hello from Australia
I have just read your post and was wondering if we may have a connection?. I'm trying to trace James Elliot a shoemaker who was married to Catherine Reilly. They had a daughter Margaret Elliot born in Ireland or Scotland around 1810.
Margaret Elliot married William Hamilton and then Thomas Hunt about 1835.
I realise this is probably a long shot but thought perhaps James Elliot may have married twice!

1856 letter to Jane (Mrs. John) ELLIOT of Sennett, New York

JimMiller599 — 2009-06-17 11:42:34Z

I recently found an old envelope that Jane (Mrs. John) ELLIOT of Sennett, New York received from
Darlington, England in 1856 (spelled ELLIOTT in various censuses). You can see the envelope on www.philgen.org (search on SENNETT, click on View, and scroll to the bottom of the page). I want to determine if Darlington, England is the birthplace of Jane or her husband John and if this envelope is helpful to someone in their genealogical research. The reason I have a photo of the envelope is because of my interest in using old envelopes and postcards in genealogical research. I have an article in the spring 2009 issue of New England Ancestors entitled Philatelic Genealogy and have started the philgen website. I do not know if the letter that was in the envelope still exists.

SHELDON ELLIOTT Sheldon M. Elliott, 83, of Henderson,Nv passed away April 4, 2009. He was born Jan. 12, 1912, in New York City, and was a 31-year resident of Nevada. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and was a Jewish War Veteran. "Shorty" was a Jack of all trades, with a career including sales, the casino industry and recycling. He was a loud New Yorker, strong, stubborn, generous, outrageous and well liked by all. "If you asked him what time it was, he would tell you how to build a watch." He loved coffee, cooking, solitaire, reading the paper, watching TV, his dogs and taking care of his family. He did things his way and didn't care what others thought, but we all thought the world of him. Sheldon was preceded in death by his mother, Sally Krieger-Umlauf; and his sister, Burnice Aronarwitz. He is survived by his wife, Patricia (72); his daughter, Rachel (34); sons, Levi (33) and Abraham (32); and nephews, Joel and Gary.

Colonel Robert George BENNETT c1820 Perth. Not found in Army Lists?

markheal — 2008-07-08 13:06:55Z

Is this an alias or bigamy? SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!

Robert George BENNETT c1820 Perth, is found in 1871 St George Southwark & 1881 Hanwell as a Retired Infantry Colonel on half pay.

No civil BMD has yet been found and he is not in the Army Lists. Family myth has financial collapse and/or suicide as reason for lack of accurate information.

Seven children took his Bennett name and most had a Catholic Baptism [Two Godfathers were an Edgar BENNETT and George ELLIOT].

By 1891 [possibly by 1886] the 'father' was absent. The Mother Mary/Margaret nee HENRY c1838 Sligo, is listed as Widow and the family now used the Surname

ANSTRUTHER.

The name ANSTRUTHER is found as middle name on several bapstism records.
Only three civil birth registations have so far been found [all as Bennett].
George Elliot Carnegie BENNETT 1870 Saint Saviour
Mary Georgina Anstruther BENNETT 1879 Brentford
Dominick Compton Anstruther BENNETT 1881 Brentford.

Other siblings [birthdates from baptism or Army records]
Edgar 05/10/1866 Liverpool
Frederick Anstruther 16/05/1872 baptised Southwark Cathedral
Gilbert Anstruther 08/11/1874-09/05/1892 bap. Southwark
Melgund Robert E. 04/06/1876. baptised Hanwell
[This last rare forename is also found in the ELLIOT/MINTO family]
At the 1882 baptism of Dominick Compton BENNETT he is recorded as ANSTRUTHER the parents are named as Robert STEWART and Mary ANSTRUTHER!

Many thanks.

HI Kristi,
Lets correspond directly, OK? I have found Deborah's burial place and which I may have shared with you, but no will which I would not expect to find one for Deborah. Most women, but not all, did not have wills. And David JR died unexpectedly so no will has ever been found for him. I have the Beekman Patent Book and there is no daughter listed for David and Deborah, it states that there was David, Deborah and son, Peter. So I don't know but it certainly is not impossible. I would like to correspnd directly as I said, my email addy is melanie1@verizon.net
Talk to you soon

Hi Alex. Just browsing Ancestry and came up with your post sent back in Sept 2003. And yes I'm interested in the names John Elliot and Betsy Taylor. The inform . I have is JOHN ELLIOT brn c1768. M Elizabeth Taylor brn c1774. there were six children the eldest William brn.1798 and youngest Alexander brn 1809 [my direct line]. I only knew John was born in Sotland.

Archibald Elliot - Newcastle upon Tyne - 1891

oceanroad — 2009-01-07 12:31:49Z

I am trying to find further details about my great great grandfather Archibald Elliot. The known facts are;
Born 1838 in Blaydon, Durham.
He was living and working in Newcastle Upon Tyne in 1891 as a machinist at engineers.
Home address then was 8 Sidney Grove, Elswick.
I know for certain that he had one daughter, Catherine Elliot, but am not sure about her date of birth. Possibly 1874.
I would like to find details about his wife and any other children he may have had.
According to the 1891 Census he had a housekeeper and a servant and I am curious to know how a machinist in those days could afford a housekeeper and servant (I am certain of these details in the census as my grandfather [Archibald Elliot Parkinson] was living with him at the time).

daughters of Dabner

Adriannastargazer1 — 2009-02-23 21:11:57Z

I'm looking for any and all information on the sisters ( whole or half) of Mary Elizabeth "Sis" Elliot. Trying to find the grandmother of John Joseph Whisenant(born in 1881). He was either born North of Florence, AL or Around Sand Mountain. the Elliot tie would have died in or around the Sand Mountain area around 1881 + along with the rest of the Whisenant's over some property dispute. I would appreciate any and all information that I can get from this.

Thanks, Susan

Ruth is my grandma.She was born in Cortland,Cortland,NY in 1902. Her mother was Viola Scouten. Viola's husband was Benjamin Isaac Scouten. She lived her entire life in the Cortland area,other than 1910-1917 in Clay,Onondaga,NY.She married Ralph Baker around 1919/20. I am trying to figure out where the name "Elliot" is coming from.

Gilbert Elliot, born about 1840

martinlawrence81 — 2008-08-09 21:27:05Z

In a branch of the Elliots of Minto, Frederick Augustus Hugh Elliot, born in 1847, and two sisters, were born to Francis Edward Elliot and his wife, Constance Alice Impey.

I have seen a pair of portraits of two boys, who are said to be Frederick and his (elder) brother.

A family tree of Helen Stuart, born about 1702, who married a (different) Gilbert Elliot, shows four children in that marriage, one of whom was Gilbert E. Elliot. Family legend is that the elder brother committed some social misdemeanour, and was sent to Australia.

The 'Stewart' family tree refers to a wife or partner for Gilbert, Bertha Gibson, and one child.

Can anyone, either in UK or Australia, throw any light on this Gilbert (which is in fact a very common Elliot fore-name)?

Regards, ML

Re: David Elliot of Kingsbury, Washington, New York

kristiwheeler47 — 2008-05-13 13:35:11Z

Thank you for shedding light on what for me has been a great mystery.

For years, I have been searching for the parents of Sarah Elliot born Aug. 13, 1769 in Dover, Duchess Co., N.Y. In 1796, she was married to Thomas Parker in Cayuga County, N.Y. This young couple bought a parcel of land together with a Benjamin Elliot on the border of Cayuga and Onondaga County.

Benjamin Elliot had moved to Cayuga County about 1794 from Kingsbury, Washington Co. I knew there was some kinship between Sarah Elliot and Benjamin, but he was not old enough to be her father. Your information suggests Sarah may have been his niece -- perhaps a daughter of the late David, Jr. who had died in Kingsbury in 1793 and his widow, Deborah Elliot.

In 1800, Benjamin Elliot (brother of Deborah Elliot), Laban Elliot (Deborah's brother-in-law) are listed in the census of Marcellus, Onondaga Co., N.Y.

In 1800, Thomas Parker and Sarah Elliot Parker are listed in Cayuga County on the same page as a Gideon Elliot (either Deborah Elliot's brother or her son).

By 1810, Laban Elliot is listed in Cayuga Co. on the same page as Thomas Parker and Sarah Elliot in the township of Brutus, Cayaga Co. This is the village where Thomas and Sarah Elliot Parker's first children were born.

It appears that Peter Elliot ad David Elliot were in Owasco, Cayuga County. at that time. By 1820, David had moved to Italy, Ontario Co. and David had moved to Prattsburg in Steuben Co. -- just south of his brother.

Thomas Parker and Sarah Elliot Parker moved west to Huron County, Ohio just before 1820. There son, Reverend Seth Parker born in Brutus, Cayuga County became a Baptist minister in Ohio.

I checked the online records for Segar Cemetery in Prattsburg, Steuben Co., New York. Deborah died 3rd January, 1838 age 88 years, 4 months and 26 days.

Hope this helps....I'd would enjoy sharing infromation.

Hi Melanie,

Thank you for responding so quickly. I tried to reply today to the email address you gave me and it has been returned to me twice. Mine is kristiwheeler47@hotmail.com Can you try sending a note to me and I will reply...I don't know what the problem is.

Re: David Elliot of Kingsbury, Washington, New York

kristiwheeler47 — 2009-02-13 15:12:48Z

Hello again, Melanie,

I continue to work on the possible connection between my gggg-grandmother, Sarah Elliot Parker (b.in Dover, Dutchess Co., N.Y. Aug. 13, 1769) and David, Jr. and Deborah Elliot. I realize that Sarah was not listed on David, Jr.s land lease in the early 1770s in Dutchess Co., but I have just learned more information on Dutchess Co. land lease records and how they were recorded.

Janice Hoy told me she knows of only 3 sons for David Jr. and Deborah -- Peter, David and William.

I have also been corresponding with Dr. Lynn Branvold, another distant Elliot cousin, who is a past coordinator of a Dutchess Co. genealogy site. She is very familiar with the "Settlers of the Beekman Patent" records and tells me the land leases of that periodlisted only 3 "lives" in this case,David,Deborah and, Peter. She said that does not mean the family did not have other children in their household even then.

As you know David, Jr. and family moved to Washington Co. after 1786 when he served in the Beekman Regiment ofDutchess Co.Inthe 1790 census of Kingsbury for David, Jr., there were 2 males over 16, 1 under 16 and 2 females. So they must have had one daughter unless the 2nd female was
a maidservant.

My Sarah Elliot moved west sometime before 1796 when she married Thos.Parker. They soon bought neighboring parcels of land with Benjamin and Submita Elliot. I have copies of these deeds.

In the 1800 census, Deborah's brother, Benjamin Elliot and his cousin Laban Elliot were next door neighbors in Marcellus. Your original message in Ancestry mentioned that Widow Deborah and her children moved west with Laban... In the 1810 census, my Sarah Ellot Parker and her husband are listed on adjacent pages of the census to Laban Elliot.

Benjamin (b. 1754) and Laban (born 1757) are both too young to have been Sarah's father. Prof. Branvold believes that David Elliot, Jr. is the only possible Dutchess Co. Elliot in the previous generation to have been her parent.

I have repeated some of what I told you before, but it has been about 2 years since we corresponded.

Another note of interest, if this theory is correc, Sarah would have been the name of her grandmother (Sarah Provender Elliot) on both her mother's and father's sides.

I hope all is well with you. I will continue to work on this, but proof is difficult as so few Dutchess Co. birth records survive. Have you ever found a will for David or Deborah?

Thanks,

Kristi

Re: The Mysterious Daniel Elliot(t)

kristiwheeler47 — 2009-02-24 12:51:26Z

Rod,

I am descended from the Elliots of Dutchess Co, Washington Co, Cayuga Co. -- who moved to Ohio about 1820.

Years ago, I read an article in one of the Dutchess Co. histories that some of Washington's troops (no doubt very hungry) descended on some of the local farms around Dover/Pawling. One of the farms belonged to one of our Elliot families. The soldiers killed he livestock, chickens, etc. and basically "wasted" the farm. Shortly after this incident two Elliot families -- that of David and his brother John moved their household to Kingsbury, Washington Co.

How are you related?

Puzzle: Melgund Anstruther 1876 Hanwell ??

MarkElliotAnstrutherHeal — 2008-09-11 14:38:51Z

My great-uncle was baptised 02/11/1877 as in Hanwell Middlesex RC Church as:
MELGUND ROBERT ANSTRUTHER BENNETT birthdate given as 04/06/1876.
No civil birth registation has yet been found.
His parents are listed as ROBERT GEORGE BENNETT [1820 Perth Scotland] and Mary/Margaret [nee] HENRY [1829 Ireland] and appear on the 1871 and 1881 census living next door to the RC church.

The 'Father' listed as a Retired Infantry Colonel on half pay has not been found on Army lists or on any other census.

By 1891 the 'Father' had disappeared [death not yet found] and the whole family used ANSTRUTHER as their surname. Family myth suggests financial collapse and/or suicide.

MELGUND was married 15/10/1921 in Lambeth, occupation Porter.
From 1933 until his death 27/03/1944 he used the alias of George ANSTRUTHER and ran an Oxford coffee shop and appears on electoral rolls.

Quite apart from finding MELGUND'S birth record and the true identity of his father, I would value your help, suggestions and ideas as to the interesting collection of forenames and middle names given to MELGUND and his brothers.

I should also like to know the correct roots of my own name!

Many thanks for your thoughts and ideas.
