  Wow, you have been busy.

I put what we have so far on a huge piece of paper so I can see who belongs to who.

To think all I had to start with was Frederick Elks and that I had been searching for years with no result. Now I look at what I have and..... .....it is fantastic.

I wish we could find more on Joseph Elks and Sarah Plumb.....did they have more than one child? Where did Joseph come from?....I'm thinking he came from Derbyshire or Staffordshire......maybe i'll never know!!

Hi swampinstein,

it looks like they only had 1 child.  If only I could find Joseph burial then we might get an idea of how old he was but haven't yet found it.

I know....it's like the Elk's are hiding from me....I can find other Elk's especially in Staffordshire but have no idea if Joseph is connected to them......I wonder if he just left?.....or died?.....I would have thought he would be recorded as died in Nottingham, but that doesn't seem the case.

Unless his name was spelt wrong on records could be down as Ellis maybe, there is one at St Mary's Nottingham Joseph Ellis of Commerce Row on 24 April 1831 on my disc but it says age unclear so I'll have a look at the actual record in the archives.

By the way have you seen the newspaper report on Harriett Elk in 1849 when she was charged with stealing silk and Sarah was charged with receiving the silk.

I saw the bit about Harriett stealing the silk, read it on that newspaper archive site but I haven't paid to view the rest of the article...Didn't know Sarah got done for receiving it.

I think you may be right about Ellis.....I read that yesterday on another site about Sarah being down as Ellis instead of Elks.....I'll see if I can find it.

Here it is.......Says Ellis...........think it is my Sarah

Yes I saw that census to but it does not say if she was a widow.
