Hello
I seem to be stuck with a predicament here in Canada. Our only place to
research for Europe is at the local FHC. I have checked the FHL and
there are no films available for the area I need info from.
From the IGI, I have located some info on my ELLAWAY family but now
would like to see documents to confirm if I am on the right track.
All this family seems to have been born in Monmouth (or close by) and
from other info located, they seemed to have worked on boats or ships.
Thomas Ellaway married Ann ?????? in about 1744 and children were
Thomas 1745, Ann 1747, Jane 1732 (she might have married Thomas
GREENLY in 1778), Mary 1755 and Elizabeth 1762.
Thomas Ellaway b. abt 1745 married Ann POWELL in Apr 2, 1769
and their children were - Thomas b. 1770, Jane b, 1772, Richard b. 1773,
James b. 1776, Elizabeth b. 1777, Phillis Maria b. 1784.
Thomas Ellaway b. 1770, I believe is my 4x g-grandfather and he married
Elizabeth HARPER in Oct. 1792 in Bristol. I can follow their line from
this date on but everything before that points to the above people in
Monmouth.
If anyone knows any websites where I might be able to confirm some of this
or any CD's available now (I hear there are some in the making which may be
in 2 years or more), I would appreciate knowing.
Thank You Lorraine Ottawa, Canada
