Hi I am trying to find Frederick William Whirred Elkington born 26 June 1854. an d according to the census he was born in Chatham, Kent. His parents were Frederick George Elkington of the Bath Branch of Elkingtons and Harriet Mary Angle. His birth is confirmed. His father died in 1858 whilst serving in India, when he was four years old. His mother came from Norfolk and died at St. Leonards-on-Sea, so she returned to England. The only census I can find him in is the 1901 where he is living in Manchester unmarried and single, working as a Commission Clerk. I can't find him in 1911 but he died in Manchester in 1927. He has great gaps in his life which I am trying to fill. His elder brother by one year was born in Ireland but emigrated to New Zealand where he married and had a family. I wondered if he went to New Zealand on a visit but I can't find him anywhere on any shipping lists. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very pleased. JUDY ELKINGTON [N. Derbyshire, England] www.elkingtonfamily.com ELKINGTON@rootsweb.com www.one-name.org/profiles/elkington.html

Judy, There is a Frederick W. Elkington, born Calcutta, India in Lancs in 1891. Could he possibly have spent time in India, but not been born there? He was a visitor, so may not have been well known to the person filling in the census.
