hi Liz, thanks for your info, Iam not sure if there is a connection with our Georges. My George married an Elizabeth Barrass, I have not been able to find him as Elsbury, but I did find him as an Aylesbury B 1808, he married Elizabeth Barrass, so I think it has to be him. His mother was Jane, father William- and of course I cant find them. Sometime they or someone changed the spelling of the name and I think I have found them in 1841 census as Elsbury in Durham.
I dont know if I am on the right track, but I seem to be going around in circles. They had a son robert b in 1843 & a george, both immigrated to australia in 1866 on the tornado, along with a sister or wife margaret, and a one year old anne belonging to ?
Anything you have come across would be of great help Liz. My email is
