Census -
5th April 1891 
"Yorkshire Strays"
& Durham residents
The following is a comprehensive list of "Yorkshire strays" (born in Yorkshire, but living
elsewhere at the time of the 1891 census)
and their families. I have also
added all other Ellerton families born/living in Durham. If you have other census details not
shown below please drop
me an e-mail so that I can add them to this list.
Hyperlinks to my own "direct" line are shown in
bold.
Note: Comments in square brackets [ ] are my own
observations.
