James Elliott - Dittisham

[coola2]

Trying to find mother of James Elliott born around 1855-58 in Dittisham.  He migrated to Australia in 1873 age 17
His Australian Death Certificate shows father as Samuel Elliott - Occupation - Seaman No mother listed.
He died February 1937 age 79

There is a James Hambling ELLIOTT birth registered June qtr 1853 in Totnes - mother maiden name BLANK.

Presumably this is them in the 1861 census at St George's St, Dittisham:
Samuel Elliott       41    Dittisham, Devon  (occ. bargeman)
Sarah Elliott        41    East Alverton, Devon
Mary Sarah Elliott    13    Dittisham, Devon
Susanna Elliott        10    Dittisham, Devon
James Hy Elliott        7    Dittisham, Devon
Eliza Elliott        5    Dittisham, Devon
Samuel Thos Elliott    5    Dittisham, Devon

RG09/1416/149

and in 1871 James is a farm servant at Cornworthy working for Sarah HUTCHINGS

Samuel ELLIOTT married Sarah BLANK registered in Sep qtr 1845 at Totnes. (Vol 9/563)

1851 census at Dittisham:

Samuel Elliott    31    Dittisham (bargeman)
Sarah Elliott    31    East Allington
Mary S Elliott    3    East Allington
Susanna Elliott   0    Dittisham
Elizabeth Blake    Visitor    7    Slapton

HO107/1873/514

and I think this is Samuel in the 1841 at Higher Dittisham:

Peter Elliott    65  Devon
Susan Elliott    65   Devon
Samuel Elliott    20  Devon

HO107/211/11

I think this is Sarah in 1841 at Knighton Farm, East Allington

George Yabsley       55    
Elizabeth Yabsley    5    
George Yabsley       24   
John Yabsley       2     
Mary Yabsley       15    
John Wallston       15    
Samuel Doney       15    
William Adams       13    
William Hutchings    13    
Sarah Blank       20    

(all born in Devon)
HO107/246/3

There is another Sarah BLANK around the same age in Slapton, but I don't think this is your Sarah, as she appears on later census unmarried with father Richard BLANK.

[maddys52]

There is a possible baptism for Sarah BLANK in 1819 at East Allington, father: Thomas on findmypast, but I don't have access to the record. (Quite a few other children as well, and probably ties in with 1841 census at Coombe, East Allington:

Thomas Blank       53  Devon
Sarah Blank       45 
William Blank       10    
Jane Blank       8    
Eliza Blank       6    
Susan Blank       4    

HO107/246/4


and in 1851 at East Allington:
Thomas Blank    (wid)    61    East Allington
Susan Blank    13    East Allington
Grace Richards    26    East Allington

SAMUEL Elliott Christened 5 Jan 1820 Dittisham to PETER/SUSANNA
(F/S.Org)

A Tree has Peter marrying Susanna PEEKE, 1796 Dittisham (I cant confirm this)

But a Son of theirs Peter 1801 married a Susan ANDREWS 23 October 1823, Churston Ferrers, Devon, England.

Just posted this so there is no confusion as to Samuel being the Son of the second Peter/Susan Elliott.

Peter/Susanna Christened;
SUSANNA 5 Feb 1799
PETER 19 Jan 1801
GRACE 4 Sept 1803
SALLY 31 May 1807
JAMES 23 Sept 1810
JAMES 12 Dec 1813
SAMUEL 24 Dec 1815, died 30 Aug 1817
SAMUEL 5 Jan 1820**

PETER Elliott Christened 13 Feb 1774 Dittisham to JAMES/GRACE

unnamed ELLIOT married Grace MITCHELL 7 October 1755, Dittisham, Devon

Thank you both for this.  Familysearch show James Hy Elliott born 1854 Dittisham to parents Samuel and Sarah Elliott.  Then there is a James Henry Elliott baptised 1856 Devon no parents listed and a James Hambling Elliott born 1853 Totnes with no parents listed.
