Hi, I've just joined family tree forum and am hoping someone can help me to solve a problem I've got.
I know that my ancestor James Elsby was born C1819 in Cheshire and his father was William. In the 1841 census James lived next door to William Elsbey(missplelt in 1841 but correct in later census's) in Bradwall, Sandbach. This William is married to Ellen and was born C1800. I believe that this William is James's father and married Ellen Smallwood in Sandbach in May 1817. However, the familysearch website claims that James's parents were William Elsby and Eleanor Dodd who had married in Chester in 1807.
Could someone help please by maybe finding where James was baptised and maybe details of both Williams?
Many thanks
Elsby
