Thomas Elliott, Portland
« on: Wednesday 05 April 06 19:22 BST (UK) »

Thomas Elliott, Portland

Please does anyone know where this man was in 1851?  He is entered in Lower Lane Portland in 1861 - RG9/1351 page 34 as retired mariner aged 43 with wife Jane aged 42.

I am looking for a missing merchant seaman who was in Bristol in 1851 and wonder if this is him on next census.

Can anyone tell me where I might find marriage details for him?  Not sure when, youngest child was 14 in 1861.

Thanks,  Nameless

Nameless,

Just found your post and I have the marriage certificate of Thomas ELLIOTT and Jane READ as both are in my tree. Very interested in what you found out. Unfortunately the certificate I recieved is handwritten by a registrar recently from the original (for some reason) and NOT a copy of the original.

Hi nameless,

Have you had a look at the Portland section on www.dorset-opc.com?   Census details, baptisms, marriages, burials and lots more.

Hello Nanny Jan & Roland,

Thank you for the link to Portland opc.  I'm very grateful for that.

I didn't get any further looking for the marriage because the Register Office needed to know the church.  There is only the slightest chance of finding anything if I could see his signature.

My (Edward) Thomas Elliott signed his name on the marriage in Bristol in 1845.  He is just on the 1851 census then vanishes.  GRO have checked home & overseas indexes but no death.  With sailors having such a bad name I wondered if he left to go back to another wife.  I have found nothing about him or his alleged father in Bristol records.  His last child was apparently born 1860 but only on one of their 5 marriages is the father entered as dead.  Makes me wonder why.

I think I come from a very dodgy mariner.

Cheers

Nameless,
What links your (Edward) Thomas ELLIOTT to Thomas ELLIOTT of Portland?

The only Thomas Elliot I can find on the 1851 is recorded as from Bristol?

A Thomas Elliott from Bristol is recorded in BT119/5 P36 Alphabetical Index of Seamens 1835-1840, the entry reads 19 S Bristol 2263. This can be used to look in BT112 Register of seamen series II.

BT116/31 P192 Register of Seamen Series III 1853-1857 lists a Thomas Elliott from Bristol. His age is noted as 35, 36 and 38 probably corresponding to voyages listed in 1854, 1855 and 1856. The voyage in 1856 has him listed as a Seamen, 29/4 date and vesssel Avon registered Bristol. 1855 voyage again he is a seamen date 1/9, vessel name Stac? registered Bristol (A bit difficult to read). Voyage in 1856 he is a Seamen aboard Ceres registered Waterford sailed 6/6.

BT114/7 p154 Index to seamens tickets 1845-54 gives register ticket 440586 (i think!) Elliott Thomas from Bristol. You can use this gto get more details from BT113 seamens tickets.

If you go onto the national archives website and select the catalogue, the above BT series references can be entered to find out more. The second entry above shows that he was on a Waterford registered vessel could it be he died at sea or in Waterford? Crew lists can be looked at for a particular Port where you can search for the crew list for a particular vessel. Who knows where this information might lead?

I am currently traceing through BT series looking for ELLIOTT's from Portland as many of my ancestors were Mariners and dissapeared. So far I have found a suprising amount of information about them incuding height, colour of hair, eyes etc. so well worth looking. Please let me know if I can help further as I have listed all ELLIOTTS from the BT indexes.
Regards

Dear Roland,

I have no reason at all to look at Elliotts in Portland apart from the fact that the Portland Thomas is on 1861 and not on 1851.  I was interested in looking at the original of his marriage for elimination purposes.  As I haven't been able to find out who my Elliott was, I was trying to find out who he wasn't.  I am sure the father's details on his marriage certificate is lies,  there is no record of a woolen draper in Bristol records. 
Thank you for all of that information.  How did you get hold of it, on line or some other way?   A researcher checked the seaman's ticket regs but I don't think they were the same as you have.  He sent photocopies but I can't read the ships details.
Because of his children's marriage entries I also think he left, rather than died.  I could not find him on 1841 although I think I checked most of the Elliotts on the census on Ancestry.

Unfortunately out of all of his descendants I am the only one who is researching.  I found a lady married to another descendant but I had lots more than her.  I must be the only inquisitive Elliott from our branch.

Thanks again for all the info.

Regards

The information came from the National Archives. You can look on their website catalogue to find out more information about the BT series. However you may need to visit the NA building at Kew to view the fiches although they might be able to order some details online with the information I have given you......but you need to look at the website catalogue first to give you background on how the BT archives are arranged.
