lanarkshire lad Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Anybody got any old articles or information about John Ellis from Elphinstone?? Understand his doos played quite a big part in Dale Newcombe's loft.Have heard one or two top distance men saying he had the best team of pigeons they have ever seen I think most of his succsess came from an outstanding pair of breeders he called Lothian King and Lothian queen.I dont know where they came from but as far as i know they were awesome at breeding 500 mile winners.
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Posted May 9, 2011 Different John Ellis Frank.Think a lot of folk called him Ian Ellis. Don't know too much about him to be honest but think he had a pair called Lothian King and Lothian Queen.
