| 词条 | George Elliott (British politician) |
| 释义 |
Born in Islington, he was educated at the City of London School and entered business as a refreshment contractor with premises at Upper Street.[3][1] In 1875, he was elected to Islington Vestry. He subsequently became a member of the Islington Board of Guardians: during his 38 years membership he was chairman for 20 years and vice-chairman for 9.[1][2] When the first elections to the London County Council were held in January 1889, Elliott was elected as one of two councillors representing Islington South.[4] Originally a member of the Liberal-backed Progressive Party, he was re-elected in 1892 and 1895.[5][6] There was some doubt as to his party allegiance by the time of the 1898 election: as a Unionist he was seen as being aligned to the Conservative supported opposition Moderate Party, although he was nominated by the Progressives.[7] He was later described as an "Independent Progressive", and at the 1901 election was returned unopposed, taking the Moderate whip.[8] He stood at the 1904 council election as an independent, but was defeated.[9] Elliott was elected to the Islington Borough Council as a Conservative, and was thirteen times mayor of Islington: in 1902/03, from 1906–09, and from 1910–18.[3][1][2] As mayor during the First World War he was largely responsible for raising the 21st (Service) Battalion (Islington), The Middlesex Regiment.[2][1][10] He was knighted in 1917.[11][1][3] At the 1918 general election he was elected as Coalition Conservative member of parliament for Islington West.[3][1][2] He retired from parliament at the next general election in 1922.[12] He married Elizabeth Frances Hellier, Upottery, Devon and the couple had six children.[2][1] He died suddenly at his home "The Chalkpit", Maidenhead, Berkshire, in 1925. He was buried at Abney Park Cemetery.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|title=ELLIOTT, Sir George (Samuel)|url=http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/article/oupww/whowaswho/U196044|work=Who Was Who|publisher=Oxford University Press|accessdate=29 March 2012}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news|title=Obituary: Sir G.
