Many thanks Gary - and thanks also to those others who have replied to me on- and off-list. It certainly seems as if this is the Elton referred to in the birth announcement - even though it seems little more than a crossroads. So I'm going to start digging there to see what I can find. I have even had the offer of help from your county library genealogy specialist, which is really great, so I have high hopes of making some progress and you'll all be the first to know what I turn up - thanks again - you're a great List (why didn't my folks settle there?!).
