I have been unable thus far to find further information on Mr. Elliott other than the dates 1870-1876 from Glen Phillip's book Ontario Photographers List 1851-1900.  UPDATE: I have recently found the following ad in the Sarnia Observer showing that Mr. Elliott took over the studio of Dugald Ferguson, retaining all of Mr. Ferguson's negatives.
