Using the advanced search (link at bottom of main PR search page) and searching for all Baptisms of John Elliot on the site I find:

39531 1863 ELLIOTT Frederick, John & Fanny, Whitecroft, Collier, Lydney
39532 1863 ELLIOTT Charles, John & Fanny, Whitecroft, Collier, Lydney
39533 1863 ELLIOTT Nelson, John & Fanny, Whitecroft, Collier, Lydney
39534 1863 ELLIOTT Deremiah, John & Fanny, Whitecroft, Collier, Lydney
3811 1865 ELLIOTT Edwin John, John & Fanny, Whitecroft, Labourer, Bream
167237 1867 ELLIOTT Reuben, John & Fanny, Whitecroft, Monmouth, Wesleyan Methodist
4106 1870 ELLIOTT Amelia Jane, John & Fanny, Whitecroft, Collier, Bream
4107 1870 ELLIOTT Albert Thomas, John & Fanny, Whitecroft, Collier, Bream

Clearly you will find more details on each specific record.

Hopefully this site will carry more relevant PRs for them.

With respect to your initial query re John & Fanny's marriage, are you aware of the excellent FreeBMD website ?. As work-in-progress it's incomplete for some areas of the country but always worth a try, searching Marriages for John Elliott gave the following result:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Sep 1846 (>99%)
--------------------------------
Elliott John Tetbury 11 589
Pride Fanny Tetbury 11 589

Similarly for Reuben:

Surname Given Name District Volume Page Transcribers
Births Mar 1867
--------------------------------------------
ELLIOTT Reuben. Monmouth 11a 23 Leggy
Elliott Reuben Monmouth 11a 23 365MemaBusEdj

(ie Birth was registered at Monmouth (ie western side of Dean) within the Quarter upto March 1867).

Reuben's probable Marriage:

Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1893 (>99%)
------------------------------------
Elliott Reuben Monmouth 11a 77
James Mary Ann Monmouth 11a 77
Price Milson Monmouth 11a 77
ROBINS Sarah Monmouth 11a 77

(Sorry !, FreeBMD cannot tell you which of these two was his wife, need to buy the Certificate for that; apart from comparing with other sites etc).

And finally:

Surname Given Name Age District Volume Page Transcriber
Deaths Dec 1935
--------------------------------------------
Elliott Reuben 68 Monmouth 11a 19 Peaklander

Which ties-in nicely with "our" sites PRs.

This may help you in future,
