Albert Elks, his family, parents and ancestors

My great-grandfather was called William Edward Elks and he was born in 1856 in Staffordshire, England. My grandfather John Elks was born in Bloxwich, Staffordshire in 1885 and my father, Albert Edward Elks, in 1910. I have the names and date of birth for all my father's brothers and sisters and some other family details such as marriages and the names of my cousins, but very few dates.

In 1912 John Elks and his wife Lizzie (maiden name Peach) moved to Dover, Kent and most of their other children were born there. Three of them are still alive, sadly the rest, my father included, have gone.

The surname Elks

About half of the known people with the Elks surname live in Britain, about one third of them in the Midlands, notably Staffordshire and Derbyshire. Most of the earliest records are concentrated in Shropshire, although the first record of the name found so far is the baptism of an Elizabeth Elks in Gloucestershire in 1548. This contrasts with a family tradition that originally the family came from Germany, but there does not seem to be any evidence to support this and bearing in mind the early localised distribution it is possible that the name is of Saxon (Mercian) origin. Considering some spellings of the Elks family name, it is interesting to see that the derivation of the name of Ilkeston, a town in Derbyshire, is from Ealac's Hill and that, over the centuries, the name has been spelt Elcasdon, Elkesdon, Helchesdun, Hilkesdon, Hilkisdon

6. Thomas Peach, born at The Green, Darlaston, Staffs on 15 November 1862; emigrated to Australia circa 1912 and died at Rockvale, New South Wales in 1931 (both he and his wife are buried in Woronora Cemetery, near Sutherland, NSW). He was the son of  12. Thomas Peach and 13. Betsy Leech. At the time of his marriage he worked for the railways, in 1901 was a colliery bank foreman and circa 1908 became the landlord at the Canal Tavern, Bloxwich. He married 7. Mary Jane Wilkinson at St. Paul's Church, Walsall on 16 March 1884.

7. Mary Jane Wilkinson, born circa 1862 in Lane Head, near Bloxwich, Staffordshire; emigrated to Australia with her husband circa 1912 and died at 112 Grand Parade, Brighton-le-Sands, Sydney Australia, on 9 August 1953. She was the daughter of  14. John Wilkinson and 15. ------ ------

NOTE: In previous versions of this Family Tree, the mother of Mary Jane Wilkinson was given as Martha Horton. It now seems likely that this is incorrect and research is being carried out to ascertain the correct parentage. Publication of the 1901 Census has enabled her place of birth to be identified and this is currently being investigated.

Generation No.4

8. John Elks, baptised 6 January 1822 at Meole Brace, Shropshire; died 2 July 1871 at Leamore, Bloxwich, Staffs. The name may also be spelt HELKS, HILKS or ELKES. He was an ironstone miner, later a coal miner. He was the son of  16. William Elks and 17. Sarah Ramsell. He married 9. Hannah Webster at Walsall Wood, Staffs on 10 July 1847. His age at death was given as 53, so he may have been born as early as 1818, but this is probably an error.

9. Hannah Webster, baptised in Fradley, Lichfield, Staffs on 12 February 1828; died 10 June 1905 at 8 Victoria Terrace, Leamore, Staffordshire. She was the daughter of  18. Thomas Webster and 19. Ann Bosten. She remarried on 2 April 1882 to Edward Hart, a widower, at St. John's Church, Walsall, Staffs.

Sarah Ann Elks does not seem to be included on either the 1851 or 1861 Census but reappears in 1871,

10. Levi Martin, baptised 30 March 1828 in Longdon, Rugeley, Staffs; died 11 February 1886. He was the son of  20. John Martin and 21. Martha Shelton. He married 11. Sarah Ann Keeling at St. Michael's Church, Rushall, Staffs on 28 November 1859.

11. Sarah Keeling, baptised 28 August 1836 in Yarnfield, Staffs (baptised in Chebsey, Staffs); died 17 May 1885 in Bloxwich, Staffs. She was the daughter of  22. William Keeling and 23. Elizabeth Faulkner

12. Thomas Peach, born in Newhall, Derbyshire on 20 January 1838; died 3 January 1920 at 97 Station Street, Cheslyn Hay, Cannock. The name is also spelt PEECH. He was the son of  24. Samuel Peach and 25. Mary Debroux. He married 13. Betsy Leech at Wednesbury on 1 February 1858. After her death he remarried to a widow, Mary Ann Franks, in 1905. His occupation was coal miner (colliery banksman in later life).

13. Betsy Leech, born circa 1838 at Toll End, Tipton, Staffs; died 17 March 1902 at Bridgetown, Cannock, Staffs.

Note: According to her marriage certificate, her father's name was  John Leech, but examination of the Staffordshire Census for 1841 and 1851 reveals that the only Betsey Leech listed was the daughter of James and Hannah Leech, born in 1841. Nor can any record of her birth be located. It is possible that when she married in 1858 she was underage and hence the name of her father and her age of 21 were both false. Her husband, Thomas Peach was also underage, nearly a year younger than stated on the marriage certificate.

14. John Wilkinson

NOTE: In previous versions of this Family Tree it was stated that John Wilkinson was the son of Isaac Wilkinson and Jane Shaw and that he married a Martha Horton at Wednesbury on 26 December 1862. It now seems likely that this information is incorrect and further research is necessary to determine the correct parentage

Generation No.5

 

16. William Elks, baptised 6 December 1789 at Pontesbury, Shropshire; died 1864. The name is also spelt HILKS or HELKS. He was the son of  32. Thomas Elks and 33. Margaret Meyrick. He married 17. Sarah Ramsell at St. Alkmund Church, Shrewsbury on 26 May 1817. Occupation given as labourer. Lived at Hokoe Gate (Hooker Gate) 1817-1831.

17. Sarah Ramsell, baptised in Meole Brace, Shropshire on 18 April 1794 (see following note); died 1873.

Note: There were five children with that name born between 1791 and 1797, three of whom died. Although there is slight evidence to suggest that she was the daughter of Edward Ramsell and Martha Boothby born in 1797, her age according to the various census from 1851 to 1871 (see below) would give her date of birth some years earlier, 1791 or 1793, even though both the children born in those years subsequently died before 1795. However, they were all descended from William and Catherine Ramsell, who were either the grandparents or great-grandparents of Sarah.

Note: Sarah Helks aged 58 (1851 Census)
Sarah Elks aged 68 (1861 Census)
Sarah Elks aged 80 (1871 Census)

25. Mary (Maria) Debroux, born circa 1810 (1816?) in Wednesbury, Staffordshire (see note below). Although the name is spelt DEBROUX in the marriage register, she signs as DEBURAX. There are at least 14 different ways the name is spelt, including DEBOREX, DEBOROUCK.

NB. This appears to be the only occurrence of the surname in Derbyshire.
Note: Her date of birth fluctuates every time it is recorded, e.g. 1811 according to the 1841 Census (30);
1823 in the 1861 Census (38); 1825 in the 1871 Census (46).
