Hello Barbara, I would be interested in any link that can be made between the ELLIOTT & TOTHILL names in Devon. For other reasons I have conducted some research of the Tothill name in Australia. Mary Ann Tothill married Frank Raymond 1856 in New South Wales and according to her Australian records she was born in Totnes abt 1832, father William, mother Mary A Harris. Mary Ann also had a sister Rebecca in Australia. The origins of Frank Raymond have not yet been located, possibly born Ludgate Hill, London abt 1802, father also William ? A link to the Elliott's would be most interesting.
