I could say that he left it all to his 9th cousin twice removed - only to female Elkingtons called Caroline... but we Elks are obviously an honest Gang with the greatest integrity of course, so I shall have a go. These male Elkingtons seemed to have a lots of children - I suspect youre right Judy, in that my great great grandad was married about three times hence the confusing who's related to who. Im having a little more success on my Grandam Elkington (nee Dobson) side of the family and manged to find lots of 3rd (Dobson) cousins around Sutton Coldfield/ Solihull and Brum - and of course they are all Aston Villa supporters, what else! Thank you Caroline. I am not seeking a rundown of the contents but an actual copy of the contents old English and all. I need to know because it is important to the story of the family. I have to write to you off line because we cannot send attachments through Rootsweb lists. Regards JUDY ELKINGTON _www.elkingtonfamily.com_ (http://www.elkingtonfamily.com/)
