Bill,
I am new to Ancestry.com and just looked for the name Elvin which is my maiden name. We have a geneology of our Elvin tree that began in 1781 with Asven Hemming Ellvin who immigrated from Finland to Sweden. My great grandfather was Svante(Sven)Oscar Ellvin who was born in 1844 in Sweden but immigrated to the US(Chicago)in 1867. He moved from there to Lindsborg, Ks. where he died in 1924. Svante had 2 brothers that the geneologist could not trace. We did finally trace one of them Johan(John)Alfred Elvin who shows up in the 1900 census Wheatland township in Wisconsin. He and my Sven also had 3 sisters who married and stayed in Sweden. I am wondering if any of the John Elvin group in Missouri might have come from that branch somewhere. Also wondering if the 3rd brother might have immigrated to England and become part of that branch. Sven(Svante) Oscar also had 2 first cousins who immigrated to the US. Their names were Carl Gustaf Ellvin(changed his name to Charles E Lee)and Johan August Elvin. We know about some descendants of Charles E. Lee but have nothing on the Johan August cousin.
Anyway, maybe none of this matches any of the details you have but it was interesting for me to see the messages between you and Otto. The connections could be there somewhere up the lineage.

jkpreston_1 — 2009-07-28 20:47:28Z

I am wondering if the John Elvin mentioned in your notes happens to be my grandfather's uncle. My grandfather's name was Carl Gustav Elvin and he was born 9/9/1875 in Chicago, Illinois. His father was Sven Oscar Elvin who was born 12/31/1844 in Hudiksvall, Sweden. Sven Oscar had 2 brothers that we have not been able to find. One, John(Johan) Alfred Elvin they believe immigrated to Wisconsin from Sweden but we haven't found his descendants yet that I know of. My grandfather had 3 brother's one of which was named John. Possibly he was named for his uncle who would have been Sven Oscar Elvin's brother John(Johan)? Also wondering if the England Elvin's could be the other brother that they are not sure where he went. Sven also had 3 sisters but they married and stayed in Sweden. Sven and his wife left Illinois and settled in Lindsborg, Ks. when my grandfather was small. Let me know if you think any of these could be related to your search.

Re: ELVIN ELVEN of Moulton, Norfolk (may be in Suffolk now)

Merinda2350 — 2008-10-13 07:21:15Z

Thank you for the clarification I have been rather puzzled about Moulton. In the 1851 census it said Moulton Norfolk but if there were two Moultons in Norfolk that leaves me with a bigger problem It may be why I have had little or no response from my postings.
Anyway I'll keep trying.

Re: ELVIN ELVEN of Moulton, Norfolk (may be in Suffolk now)

melksham9 — 2008-08-14 10:16:52Z

I am unable to help you directly with your ELVEN family of Norfolk, mine were living in the Hoxne and Eye area of Suffolk in the first two decades of the 19th century!
I just thought that you should be aware that villages with the name of Moulton can be found in Suffolk and in Norfolk!!
1) Moulton, Norfolk is near to Cantley in the Blofield Union
2) Great Moulton (Moulton St Michael) is near Tivetshall in the Depwade Union
3)Moulton, Suffolk is near Kennet in the Newmarket Union

Hi Christine
I have only I now our last posting was some time ago but hope you can help me.
I have a George Springett from Harwich born about 1795.
The name Elvin is used over and over in the family as a christian name and even have a James Elvin Sprinrett.so it seems likely that there is some link. What I would like to know if you can help in the source of your infomation, i.e.Elizabeth Elvin-Georg Springett's marriage.
any help would be great.

ELVIN ELVEN of Moulton, Norfolk (may be in Suffolk now)

ELVIN ELVEN from Moulton Norfolk (may now be in Suffolk)
Merinda2350 (View posts) Posted: 21 Dec 2006 3:31AM GMT

Classification: Query
Surnames: ELVIN ELVEN GILLETT
Susannah Elvin b c1791 Moulton, Norfolk, England,
Maria Elvin b c1817 Moulton, Norfolk, England.

I have two ELVEN/ELVINs who married, father and son, James GILLETT & his son George GILLETT both silversmiths in London.
I suspected that the two women were probably related & recently I found that they were both from Moulton Norfolk, making their relationship even more likely.
I would be interested in hearing from any other "cousins" from the Moulton area of Norfolk.
I think Moulton may be in Suffolk now.

I've got Andrew Elvin Blight living in Paterson, NJ in 1920 with his mother Isabelle, who he lists in his 1918 WWI draft registration as Isabelle Elvin Blight, and she was born in Scotland. She was the widow of Rev. Peter G. Blight. I wonder if there is a connection?

Hello Toni,
Sorry for delay answering just returned last night from visiting Glasgow and N.E. England relatives as I live near Cambridge 220 miles from Co Durham where I was born in 1929.
I have looked at all my printouts and lists of Elvin `s and can not link with your names.
This is not unusual, I have several partial trees and many Elvin names I can not link, I am sure many other relatives of my 1790 ancestor must have crossed to Scotland c 1750 to 1800, I even have Paisley Elvin names where my family lived at that time I can not link and Paisley would not have been very large then. plus lists of Edinburgh and Dundee names.
My Gr Gr parents, Thomas b.Sep 1815, m. Oct 1839 to, Ann Dixon or Dickson b.c1812, Gr parents were John b c1849 married1876 to Helen Herald b. c. 1860 Glasgow,
Only two of nine survived childhood Robert b 1881, and Dad John b. 6 Apr 1883, Glw. Mom b 1892 near Sunderland England. married Blythswood Scotland 1911.
The two boys were orphaned at eleven and nine .
From my list I have these named Thomas, relatives Gt. Uncle Thomas b 1856 m Margaret Pearson, with a son Thomas b.1883 Bridgeton Glw.
Not related, Thomas b St Giles1883.
Thomas b.1867St Giles.
Thomas C. b 1855 and Thomas A. b. 1892, both b. Dundonald Ayr.
All I can do I think maybe something will help. Good luck

Hello Melinda
Sorry at not replying sooner, I have not visited the site for a while, I was becoming a little disappointed at not progressing at all.
The three Christian names you gave are not among any of the names in any of my generations back to 1750 . If you have any specific names or dates please send them and I will recheck, or ask for more info if you think you could be linked.
Robert Charles Elvin MD b. 1823 Paisley Glasgow, emigrated to USA c.1845 to Nebraska. He was married and became an Elder in the Church of Latter Day Saints as did his son Robert Moroni.
The "Portrait and Biographical Album of Otoe and Cass Counties" pages 365/367 gives his story.
NEGenWeb Project
Resource Center
On-Line Library
Many of his relatives use this web page and I have about twenty pages of USA families from a kind relative in Madelia MN, Iowa and other States still have surviving members.
He was the younger brother of my G Gr. Gr father, I also have my Elvin links from 1750 up to date, mostly Scots but a few Maybe? Irish not confirmed, and my family all English. Dad was born 1883 in Glasgow, The three oldest known living Elvin`s are my Sis Grace in Glasgow 83, a Cousin, Glw. 82. then me b.1929 here near Cambridge.
A brief Elvin list -Charles Elvin b c 1790 maybe b. Ireland and Mary Laird ?
Son John d. 1849 and Mary Ann Burnet d,1823
Five of seven children, Thomas 1815 my line,Janet 1817 John 1819, Robert b. & d, 1821,Robert Charles 1823 (USA)
Thomas 1815 & Ann Dixon, Six children one John my Gr Father 1854-1887. I have details of all plus since

Otto just out of curiosity did you manage to find a link with my info?

Re: ELVIN Info: England

2004-10-10 21:31:43Z

Hi Deb

I'm sorry but I haven't done any research on the ELVIN name for a long time.
All I know is that Elizabeth ELVIN m George SPRINGETT 11 Mar 1816 in Harwich Essex. One of the witnesses was Hannanh ELVIN.
I found an entry in the IGI for Norfolk bp 01 Jun 1794 Norwich St Michael at Plea to James ELVIN & Hannah GOODRIDGE (GUTTERIDGE)
That's all I know.

Regards Christine.
