In a branch of the Elliots of Minto, Frederick Augustus Hugh Elliot, born in 1847, and two sisters, were born to Francis Edward Elliot and his wife, Constance Alice Impey.

I have seen a pair of portraits of two boys, who are said to be Frederick and his (elder) brother.

A family tree of Helen Stuart, born about 1702, who married a (different) Gilbert Elliot, shows four children in that marriage, one of whom was Gilbert E. Elliot. Family legend is that the elder brother committed some social misdemeanour, and was sent to Australia.

The 'Stewart' family tree refers to a wife or partner for Gilbert, Bertha Gibson, and one child.

Can anyone, either in UK or Australia, throw any light on this Gilbert (which is in fact a very common Elliot fore-name)?
