Title: John ELLIOTT christened 27/4/1803 at Ellesmere
Post by: liverpool5 on Wednesday 15 July 15 11:04 BST (UK)

Has anyone got this person in their family tree?  I am wondering if he is my ancestor who came to London (married 1829).  If anyone can prove one way or the other I would be grateful. Thank you.

Hiya Liverpool5
the christening record shows Robert and Jane as his parents
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NGTW-MBD
does the 1929 marriage show the father of the groom as Robert ??
where and who did he marry in 1829

Hi Garstonite,  Thanks for your reply.  It's a little tricky as I am really working on a process of elimination.  My John Elliott married Sarah Early at St George, Hanover Square, Westminster on 25/9/1829.  As it was an early marriage there was no mention of father's name.  He only appears on the 1841 census which only gives the clue that he wasn't born in the County - that County being Middlesex.  Their first child was named Robert, so that is why we picked out the John Elliott from Ellesmere, as he was the only John with a father Robert.  The name Robert doesn't appear anywhere in the Early family names.

By the way.  There is another John Elliott born to a Robert in Burnley, but we have tracked him through the census and married, so we know this is not the one.
