I am directly descended from George Ellborough who was
baptised in 1804 at Longworth, Berkshire. George was the illegitimate
son of Mary Ellborough. I am trying to discover the origins of his
mother Mary, but so far without success. I know George spent all his
adult life in Longworth working as an agricultural labourer. He married
Mary Thatcher from Fyfield in 1827, raised 12 children and remained
there until his death in 1882. I have had many local parish records and
overseers’ records checked for information but unfortunately have drawn
a blank. I need to find out if George actually remained in Longworth
during his childhood. Is there anyone out there who can help me? I am
particularly interested in any data relating to farms in the area and
details of any farm workers. I have a great deal of background
information relating to this surname, which I will gladly share with
any interested parties.
