Hello Everyone I am not experienced at writing to the list so apprehensive but seeing the list is so active and wonderfully interesting at present here goes. Can anyone help.I purchased microfiche from leicester to help gain the following information William Elliott was married to a 'Elizabeth' (was she Tomlinson?). William and Elizabeth Elliott had 10 children together between 1802 & 1820. A Elizabeth Elliott aged 47 of High Street, Lutterworth was buried (St Mary's records) 14 Sept 1829. A William Elliott (widower) married Ruth Rainbow, aged 34 years, on 14 September 1834 - Ruth died in 1839. William Elliott was recorded as being a 'Grocer' in High Street, Lutterworth. I do not have his death date as yet.(He had a son called William too to make things a little harder.) I know it was early days in Lutterworth but reading all the stories about shops, stores etc in Leicestershire has made me very curious about Lutterworth in the early to mid 1800s May I say that the family stories I write all include background information, descriptions and if I am very lucky photos or paintings of the areas in which they all lived.

Is this the same Elizabeth Elliott that has a grave at Lutterworth church yard? I've been walking past the grave for years and wondered about it - I am an Elizabeth and I married an Elliott so we share the same name!

Hi Marg I have a few details for the RAINBOW family in Lutterworth, Leicestershire. John RAINBOW b.13/1/1747 in Cotesbach, Leicestershire was married to Ruth HURST on 14/10/1773 in Leicester. They had 7 children - one of them Ruth c1783 in Lutterworth, Leicestershire.   I do not have a record of either of their sons John RAINBOW c.1777 or Joseph RAINBOWc.1785 having had a daughter named Ruth.   I have only just come across this branch of the RAINBOW family so my research is still a little thin on the ground, but with the name Ruth, I would think that this is your Ruth's RAINBOW family. Just as a point of interest, Cotesbach is a small village at the southern tip of Leicestershire one mile from Lutterworth situated on the south eastern slopes of the Swift Valley. It is notorious as the location of the 5,000 strong Enclosures Riot in 1607, which gave a precedent for action and environmental change. If I can be of any help, please contact me.

Hi June, Thank you for the information on Cotesbach and its location to Lutterworth, very interesting. The marriage information re Ruth Rainbow came from the microfiche I purchased from Leicester. The following information on Ruth Rainbow came from the IGI Ruth Rainbow birth 14 Dec 1800 Christened 9 Sep 1803 Independent, Lutterworth The father was John. Thank you every little bit adds to the picture. regards Marg Elliott ----- Original Message ----- From: "J FLEETWOOD" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2012 9:31 PM Subject: Re: [LEI] Elliott Family Hi Marg I have a few details for the RAINBOW family in Lutterworth, Leicestershire.
