According to my notes he married Mary Ann Elton (I don't have the date of the marriage). His father was Joseph Patmore Elkington, whose family tree shows an unbroken line back to Richard Elkington, born sometime between 1505-1515. I can provide the tree if required. Thank you John, You are quite correct saying that he married Mary Elton 28 September 1858 at Trinity Church, Grays Inn Road, London. Thomas has a very interesting life as he was first a Baker and then moved to the Gravel Pits in Denham, Bucks. At some point it became the Gravel Diggers Arms and was in his family until the early 1940s. One thing that has been passed onto me is that Joseph Patmore didn't register all his children. I have gathered 11 children for him with two dying young or infants. Could you confirm this. Kind Regards Judy.

I am looking after two grandchildren for the next few days. Hi Ian, Don't worry I have given our new member his answer and supplied him with a full tree. It is just so disappointing to run a list in which hardly anyone is interested. You actually were the one that supplied me with the Patmore connection. Hope the grandkids are behaving for you.

Hi all, Sorry only one person answered this query. I had hoped that some of you would have Joseph Patmore in your tree and would know the answer. However as he was one of the unbaptised children of this man, perhaps there is an excuse. Thank you Relks of Canada for your reply.

My private email is carjelk@aol.com yes that would probably be the best way to be in touch! Just to re-iterate : My Grandad, Thomas Harold Elkington, and my Grandma, Jessie (nee Dobson), were out in Africa circa 1918 - 1920 something, my father James Oswald Elkington and my uncle Oscar NOrman Elkington, were born out in Africa. They then all moved to Canada which is where dads main memories of his childhood are, until they were sent to England to boarding School. I believe my Great Grandad Elkington was from the midlands, as are most of the Elkington/Dobson clan, being born in Aston. I dont think there would be any Elkingtons in Africa now, but my cousins and descendents would likely be around Birmingham/London, Ive already found a few of them on my tree which please feel free to view! Thank you so much again, it means a great deal to me now that my bloodline is "ended" so to speak. Regards, Caroline. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
