ELLWOOD of Crosby Ravensworth

[Gigi]

Hi again David,

I did not mention that since this post was created, I have traced back from William Ellwood to the Ellwoods of Dufton.

William was baptised 20 Sep 1772 in Dufton, son of Mark Ellwood & Anne Loadman. The Ellwoods go back many generations in Dufton to Edward Ellwood who d 1590.

There is a group on Yahoo who are researching this family tree:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ellwood/

or you can email them at ellwood@yahoogroups.com.

The line you are describing descends from a different Mark to the one who is the brother of my John and son of William.

Your Mark, I believe is descended from William Ellwood b1754 Dufton & Barbara Jackson who married in 1783 in Long Marton. Their son Mark b1793 Long Marton married Mary Jackson 1818 in Kendal. Their eldest son William b1819 Kendal married Ann Johnson 1843 in Melling.

There is another researcher called Janet who is a member of this group who is also descended from your Mark.

This line is also descended from the same Ellwood tree of Dufton.

I hope that I have not confused you too much!

Regards

Gillian

Gillian,

Thank you for the clarification.  Illustrates the problems of researching so far back.  Too easy to make false assumptions with limited evidence.  I will have to go back and check where I obtained the original information from and then cross check with your alternative suggestion.  I will certainly check the website you suggested and hopefully will be able to find corroberating evidence to show me where I went wrong.

Tried to join the Yahoo Ellwood group without success.  Claims not to recognise my email address and requires a Yahoo account!  Able to look at the various conversations but difficult to follow and unable to open any files.  I will relook at the line after William (b1819) and Ann Johnson which is the last level I am sure of.  His father was Mark (b1794) and mother Mary (nee?) but now not sure of the details following your comments.
