Welcome to the Elliott family history website, which contains a brief account of the lives of my maternal grandparents, Arthur James Elliott and Dorothy Caroline Dore of Poplar, East London and their ancestors. Arthur's family going back generations had lived in East London whilst Dorothy's family originated from Kent and migrated to the capital in the mid nineteenth century. Both Arthur and Dorothy were born and raised in East London, and endured some really hard times, having lived through the first world war, the great depression of the 1930s and the second world war.
A possible starting point for browsing the website is the AncestralTrees. From here the biographies contain links to all relevant information, eg census returns and partial trees showing immediate family..
