[bradelkington]

Hi there i have traced my elkington family from wolverhampton/bham back to Byfield with the birth of my third great grandfather thomas elkington born 25 december 1840 i have his birth cert his parents was George Elkington born about 1809 and Sarah Amos born 1811 they was married in 1833 in byfield and was born there too. Thomas elkington's wife was Elizabeth Bull born 1839 byfield parents samuel Bull and mary ann Brown who also married in 1833 byfield.
Now on ancestry there seems to be alot of family trees on the Byfield/priors marston Link but i wanted certian  parents to george elkington born 1809 byfield i cant find any baptisms and possibly any help going back on the Bull side from byfield too if possible thanks so much in advance, dave
