"I may just mention here that my Father's two brothers followed him to India: 'William Henry'' who spent 30 years in the Bengal Civil Service — and during his later years was 'Magistrate of the 24 Pergunnas' as it is called - a very large Province in Bengal Proper, & lived at Alipore, a suburb of Calcutta. He married in England his first cousin, Miss Pearson, daughter of one of the six at Brighton whom I did not enumerate; and most of you know her as 'Great Aunt Mary Elliott' who lives now in Holland Park [Kensington, London]. She is my Uncle Willie's widow; a very clever, gifted woman, who painted when at Alipore the best collection of Indian flowers that I have ever seen." (*Memoirs of Emily Elliott p5).
