Help needed with ancestor called John Elphick
« on: Friday 06 October 23 17:56 BST (UK) »
Hi all

I hope I have posted this in the right place!    I am looking for information on one of my ancestors.  I am trying to find out who his wife was.   His name was John Elphick and he was born in 1510 in Eastbourne, Sussex and died in August 1572 apparently in Chiddingly, Sussex.  Their son relevant to me was Edmund Elphick, born 1545 in Sussex.   I have seen many different versions of his wife for example, Elizabeth/Eleanor Sidney, Eleanor Taylor, but I cannot make any sense of it, various birthdates are given as 1510-1523 and born in Seaford Sussex or Penshurst, Kent!

Many thanks :-)

Where did you find the information about Edmunds birth and Johns Birth/death.

On ancestry, but by documents not family trees as I realise they are not always reliable.
