Hi Judy, This rings bells with me - I remember my father telling me of an Elkington Silver Plate also other metals, and our claim to fame being the name Elkington on Drain Covers! I believe my ancestors migrated down to the midlands, as did many in the 19th Century, from Sheffield. I would be very interested in looking further. Regard Caroline Elkington. -----Original Message----- From: JJupar <JJupar@aol.com> To: Elkington <Elkington@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:30 Subject: [ELKINGTON] Elkington & Co Hi all Elkingtons, I have received a letter this morning which I would like your help with. am seeking any information on the Elkington Factory in Birmingham or lsewhere where they may have carried out Goldwork.
