From *Eliott 1974 p177: "educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. He entered the Indian Civil Service in 1856, became a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council in 1888 and was finally appointed Lieutenant Governor of Bengal in 1890. He served in this appointment for five years. After returning to England he acted as Financial Chairman of the London School Board and was later in 1906 co-opted as a member of the London County Council. He died on 20th June 1911."

BUT on p178 it says: "Sir Charles Elliott married 2ndly 1887 Alice Louisa (d. 1930), daughter of Thomas Gaussen of Guernsey, and died 28 May 1911"


From *Memoirs of Emily Elliott p48:
"As Father was never able to work more than 10 months out of 12, we went North again the following hot weather, in August [1866]; and I spent a quiet month at Fatehgarh, N.W. Provinces, with my cousins the C. A. Elliotts keeping the Baby-boy, while Father took Arthur, now nearly 3 years old, to Simla. He wrote me that Arthur walked and rode famously everywhere, proving quite a companion to him. Our friends, Dr. and Mrs. Farquhar put them up, in one of the houses occupied by Lord Lawrence's suite, as Dr. P. was his private medical attendant. Meanwhile my cousin, Louise Elliott (first wife of the present Sir Charles Elliott) and I, enjoyed ourselves quietly with our little ones - their 'Minnie' being a little older than our 'Johnnie'. Harry and Alfy, whom you all know, and Frank, were not then born."
