The Millner family fron Biggin

[Owen ap Anglesey]

Have a comprehensive family tree (down to present day) for the Millner family who lived in the village of Biggin, close to Hartington for decades during the 1800's.

My problem is the origin of my wife's G.G.G.Grandfather Francis Millner (1790 - 1869) who was a farmer at Dale Head , Biggin.

Both the 1851 and 1861 census show him born in Etton, Derbyshire.

Can anyone please tell me where Etton is (or was) ??

Hi Owen

Could it maybe have been ELTON?

It's about 6 miles from Biggin.

Hi Owen,
     Yes I too think that the village is Elton, have found the baptism of Francis Milner on 28th February 1790 at Elton (son of Benjamin & Hannah) - also marriage of Benjamin Milner & Hannah Buxton on 11th July 1781 at Elton, Derbys.
     Hope this information helps.

To Dazey 999 and Wisteria 16

Thanks for your incredibly quick and useful responses.

Can I intrude and ask if Wisteria has access to Elton parish records because I am searching for any Bowns from there?

Hi sustev,

Sorry I don't have the parish registers for Elton - I can only suggest that you try the I.G.I. on familysearch.org.  Best of luck with your search.

Hi sustev

I've checked my Elton CD & ,surprisingly, there's not one Bown birth, marriage or burial.

Hi colkitto

That's a disappointment but I am extremely grateful to you for checking this out for me. However I wonder how wisteria was able to find the baptism and marriage for Owen?
