Before i get to that - I found a marrage certificate Mary Ann Elliott aged 18 daughter of Joseph married to Alexander Mc Donald -both from four mile brook . The census of 1871 shows Ann as widow with daugher Mary aged 17 The marriage shows her 18 in Aug 1871 .THe census could have been done early in the same year .There are 5 other children listed with Ann. Now today I discovered that my grandfather's mother was Mary Elliot -not the one above -at least I can stop looking at the King conection . I recorded all Elliott names ,family members and birth dates as well as area they lived in. I didn't have enough time to go through the cemetery records but I will record all that I find -maybe some of this will helpyou or if you have other names . I will contine to look for Joseph in the cemetery records .Also you have some information on Mc nutt's . Mary Elliot ,my grandfather's mother married in March 1870 to James ! Polley and in 1871 cencus she is back at her parents as Mary Mc Nutt with a 3 month old son named Chas Mitchel Mc Nutt .Now there's a mistery. I do have the Mc Nutt family Book but there doesn't seem to be a conection , however there are alot of Mc Nutt's in Pictou Co that don't seem to be related to the ones in the book , So if you have any strangers in your collection please let me know .Why are you looking for only one Elliott ? I may need your help in completing this puzzle. To bad you don't live near by . Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
