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.
