  • Help with a name please.

    Could someone have a look and tell me what you think this mans Christian name is.

    The following is from FreeBMD


    Por.....Elliott 1856 reg year (death)
    March 1/4
    Swaffham (district)
    Norfolk (County)
    volume 4b

    I have and idea of what it could be but need someone elses eyes to confirm it.

    Thanks Ruth

    Porti

    maybe Portia?

    the r and t look very much like other letters on the page.

    Sorry that's a female name lol

    Porter?

    the two dots at the end look like it could be part of an r

    It's a pity there isn't another P to confirm it. It could be a Capital R to start as there is a curl to start by the looks. That would mean the second letter would be an A but I don''t think that's so.

      I thought it was Porter too.

      I have found a Porter Elliott in 1841 census living in the right area....Norfolk.

      But that is all I can find of him.

      If the above is ideed his death...why can't I find him on the 1851 census?

              If you have ancestry , go to UK census collection and click on 1851.

              Don't add any person information, scroll down to the bottom and you will see:

              Census
              HO107/

              Add the piece, folio and page numbers in the appropriate boxes and press search this will bring up the page that has Porter on. Click on view record next to his name.

                  I will have to check it later...it says they are doing maintenance at the moment.

                  If anyone had any ideas how I could find out any more about this man I would appreciate it.....or anything about his children...if he had any.

                    Jess...I have put that one my list of possibitites.

                    But I could only find two daughters for them.....

                    Frances 18/3/1810.....and....Elizabeth 25/8/1803.

                    But if these are there only children....who are the people he is liing with in 1841 census.......and how did the name continue if there were no males born?

                        Well I don't for sure.

                        I had best explain.

                        I am doing a little hunting for a friend who is feeling down and said they were stuck on this ancestor...that they had traced their line back to them and now were stuck at Porter Elliott....and my friends surname is Elliott so I am just presuming.

                        I was hoping to cheer them up with something new to add to their tree.

                          If the daughter had a child illegitimately probably. There is a child age 6 Chas? possibly with Frances? on 1841 census . Have you followed that up? There is also a possible son on 1841 census Isane. Could be he wasn't baptised or the record missed on IGI. Could it be James?

                            Why don't you ask them how they got to Porter Elliott? Is he a direct Rellie ?

                              I wanted to surprise them with any new information if I could.

                              Chas....that name is sometimes actually Charles too isn't it.

                              I will look into the possability of Isane being James....the census is very hard to read.

                              I hadn't thought of illegitmate children.

                                looking at 1881 - sorry to dive about- how big is Necton? Tiddly I bet

                                Abraham Elliott Sarah abt 1810 Necton, Norfolk, England Head Necton, Norfolk
                                [ABRAHAM ELLET/ SARAH CLARKE Marriage: 06 JAN 1829 Necton, Norfolk, England]

                                Jane Elliott abt 1855 Necton, Norfolk, England Inmate Swaffham, Norfolk

                                John Elliott abt 1861 Necton, Norfolk, England Lodger Wood Norton, Norfolk

                                These must be related I'd have thought.

                                  Deaths Mar 1871 ELLIOTT Israel 68 Swaffham 4b277

                                  I think Isane is Israel although age is out a bit.

                                  But if you look at the image I think it looks like Israel
