Notes:
Elizabeth Ellicott (ca. 1823-1887) was the daughter of Ann and Edward Ellicott. Her father was a retired Rear Admiral with the Royal Navy. His advanced age at Elizabeth's birth suggests that Elizabeth may have had older siblings, but none appear in the Ellicott household after 1841, when the English census began. The census lists Elizabeth living at home for most of her life, with the exception of her final decade when she appears to have worked as a "Professor of Music" at a private school in Surrey. It is in Surrey that she later died and was buried.
