Text source

Henrik Ellert is said to have been a Scottish merchant burgess of Stockholm c.1604. This is probably the same Henry Ellert noted in Stockholmsstads tankeboker for 1577 and 1578 (or perhaps his relative?) as being a Scottish merchant, and being a servant of James Clerk (Jacob Clerich). There is a reference to his wife in 1615.
