Hi,
Is there an address on the marriage cert, and what were the names of the witnesses?
There was a Thomas Eliff, married to Elizabeth Shepherd in Leeds, Mar 1862, and a death of Thomas Eliff in Kirkstall (Leeds area) Mar 1869, aged 32, possible brother?
Off to look some more

Hi,
Phew........Mary is certainly proving to be elusive prior to her marriage, which makes me wonder if she was actually born in Hull, or she is living under a stepfather's name etc.
It is a shame that there was no relationship for James to Thomas on that 1861 census, they do seem to be likely candidates for Mary's family but James was born c1847 and in Ireland 
Joseph Mellor (Nellor on ancestry) is living at 176 Wellington Street on the 1871 census, his occupation is Weaver & Parish Clerk, not sure about Susan Carter yet, found one married to Thomas (maiden name was Russell), but no obvious connection.
You mentioned that Mary the one from Ireland was easy to follow through the censuses; does this include the 1851, as I cannot find her then?
If all else fails, I am hoping to go to Leeds Archives sometime in the future, I could have a look at the marriages for Ellen and Thomas and see whom they name as their father and occupation.
Regards,
Kath

Hi Martyn,
There are copies of the parish records for St Peters Church, Leeds in the archive office at my mums home town.............. so sweet talked her into having a look for me, she has managed to look at the marriage between John Eliff to Esther Cross in 1841 and John was living in Kirkgate, he is a civil engineer and his father was William Eliff, a farmer. So no clues there.
Mum is going back tomorrow to look at the marriage in 1862 between Thomas Eliff and Elizabeth Shepherd, as she ran out of time today, lets hope that one yields some clues, will let you know tomorrow.
Regards,
Kath

Hi Martyn,
Thomas Eliff, age 29, Bachelor, Occupation gardener, residing at Cloth Street, father named as Thomas Eliff, Labourer married Elizabeth Shepherd, age 40, Spinster, residing at Lodge Street, father named as William Shepherd, Cordwiner on the 25 February 1862.
The witnesses were Mary Shepherd and unfortunately mum couldn't make out the second signature, but it was James ?h(r)ouse.
It is a shame that the father Thomas wasn't listed as a gardener.
Regards,
Kath
