M J Ashcroft's "The records of a manor: The population of Stainton (by Downholme) in the middle of the 17th century" summarises the "manor court rolls" of Stainton for 1653 to 1672. Five Ellerton names - including an Edward - were included, and probably relate to the subject of this page and his family. The records also show three Whitelock names - Christopher, George, and Margaret - possibly relations of Edward's wife Barbarie/Barbary. For more details of the book click here.

The Downholme Bishop Transcripts record "Barbary Ellerton, wife of Edward of Stainton" being buried on 19.3.1698 [=1699 new calendar].

Edward probably lived at Skelton Cote Farm for around 30 years, but moved to Bellerby circa 1740.
