Papers concern to the property and circumstances of the Elleker family of Risby, Yorkshire (East Riding), primarily dating from the mid-later eighteenth century.

Also includes a responsibility bond for merchandise on the vessel Tilbury of the East India Company to Madras (L.e.1271), a Bill for draining/improving land in the Parish of Sutton, Yorkshire (L.e.1291).
