ELLIOTT. (Lieutenant, 1826.)

Edward George Elliott entered the Navy 22 June, 1808; and, as Midshipman of the Forester, assisted, in 1810, at the reduction of Guadeloupe, the cutting out of a brig and schooner, and the capture of two forts. Towards the close of the war he served, in the Channel, on board the Dannemark 74, and Zenobia 16. Having passed his examination in 1815, he was ultimately promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, 27 March, 1826; since which period his appointments appear to have been – 7 June, 1831, to the Coast Guard – 4 Oct. 1834, to the Dolphin Revenue-vessel – 25 Oct. 1837, again to the Coast Guard – 25 May, 1839, to the Hornet, another Revenue-cruizer – and, 27 Feb. 1843, once more to the Coast Guard, in which he is at present employed.

Lieut. Elliott married, in 1837, Eliza, only daughter of J. D. Walton, Esq., of Kinsale.
