John. Got your message. I am 42 years old and represent the Ellerington from Northumberland. I come from farming stock based in the Tyne Valley around Allendale, Corbridge and Horsley. My father is William my Grandfather Charles and I can trace my family back about 150 years to this area I am aware of the connection to East Yorkshire but I am unsure where we quite fit together.
For myself I have a brother Mark who has three sons Adam, Jonathan and Alistair and a sister Barbara who has a daughter Ellen. I have a son Micheal and two daughters Laura and Kate. The family name goes on.
I know my mum keeps in contact with family in Australia who are descendents of my Grandfathers cousin who emigrated at the beginning of the 20th Century.
Hope this helps. David Ellerington
