Elliot family St Mary's parish Nottingham

I am searching for information about an ancestor of mine, John Elliot who married Elizabeth and had 2 children-Elizabeth in 1700 and Joshua in 1705 in St Mary's parish Nottingham. John's descendants worked as Framework knitters until about 1850.
I can't find anything else about John and Elizabeth, so if you are also a descendant or can help, please get in touch!

Elliott ancestors and a famous person!

I have a famous ancestor. Well he was interviewed and now appears on Google books. To me that's famous! He was a successfull Framework knitter and trained John Heathcote-"Who?!" I hear you cry, well he invented a bobbin lace machine. Very handy in 1809.
Anyway, it seems that Leonard's brother, Joshua (named after their Grandfather), was a trustee for Nottingham entrepaneur, George Africanus, who came from Sierra Lione as a slave and managed to buy his freedom and became very successfull in Nottingham.
On the BBC Nottingham website it says:
"Just after his marriage George and Esther founded the Africanus' Register of Servants, an employment agency which remained a family business for more than 70 years.

George Africanus was also involved in Watch and Ward, a sort of police force responsible for preventing civil disturbances.

In 1829 he became a "freeholder", owning his own family home as well as business premises and accommodation he rented out."

It is these business premises that Joshua was trustee of.

Perhaps to the readers of this, it is no big deal. But to me I am very proud of Leonard and Joshua for their achievements and in Joshua's case for being clearly a person of support and trust to George, I can only think that Leonard was a similar person and will be looking into this family in more detail!
