Hi Lyn,  Elizabeth Bosworth is also my gt gt grandmother.  She married John Henry Hewerdine after George Elston and had 5 more boys.  Her son Edward from that marriage is my gt grandfather.  Do you have any photos of Elizabeth by any chance.  She died in 1913 so I'm hoping that there are some existing somewhere out there.

Hello An65 (and others)... I am currently trying to figure out if I am related to this Elston family of Bourne, Lincolnshire, and having some difficulty sorting out which Elston families were in the county in the early 1800s. The parish records I can access online (Lincolnshire archives, Ancestry limited & familysearch mostly) seem a bit spotty and my leads are pretty weak (although I'm not the most experienced researcher by a long shot). Can anyone recommend a good starting place or pre-existing research for Lincolnshire Elstons that I may not have found?

I have also done some DNA testing--if anyone is interested in connecting in that respect please PM me.
