History
Edward James Elliot, the son of Walter Edward Elliot, a bank cashier, was born on 1 May 1883 at Highbury in London. He attended the Central Foundation School and won an exhibition to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was admitted on 30 September 1902. While at Trinity he became friends with A. S. Eddington and C. J. A. Trimble, with whom he formed an informal reading group known as the ‘E. J. Elliot Literary Society’ (Add. MS b. 48, p. 36). In 1904 Elliot was bracketed as 19th Wrangler in Part I of the Mathematical Tripos in 1904 (when A. S. Eddington was Senior Wrangler) and in 1905 he passed Part II of the Historical Tripos in the Second Class and obtained his BA. He entered the civil service and in 1921 was working for the Board of Trade. In 1910 he married Nora Cubbon at St Mary's, Acton, with whom he had a daughter. He died in 1969.
