ELAND - Market Harborough

[goff153]

Is anyone researching the Elands in Market Harborough around 1900?  My father was born there in 1900 but I think the family were there only temporarily staying with Eland relatives.

Hi Goff
Are you looking for cencus information on your Eland family or are you just wanting to know if you may have connections to any one on the site.
Eland is not a very common name, I know a family with that name and their rellies are very few and far between but i m almost sure that they hail from over York way.

Hi Joe

My real aim is to find out who the ELANDs were in Market Harborough and what relationship they had to my grandparents.  My grandparents were in Yorkshire (where the family had been for generations) in the 1891 census, but by 1901 had moved to Derby where they remained.  In between my Dad was born in Market Harborough where I know there was a family of ELANDS.  I am trying to find out who this family were and what relationship they had to my grandparents.

Thanks Joe, that's very interesting.

May I ask what is your connection with the family?

Hi Goff
I personally have no connection to them but a cousin of mine was once married to an Eland in Huddersfield and i know they had rellies in York, as this was only recently ( 10 yrs ago )and  as all the family are still alive it is unfair to post any names.
