Governor of Madras

[edit]

I have one source that indicates: "After his term in the West Indies, Elliot served as governor of Madras from 1814 to 1820, his final posting.", but he is not listed on List of Governors of Madras. Can anyone clarify? --Legis (talk - contribs) 01:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There were Governors and Acting Governors. Elliot was appointed Governor, but it is not yet clear that he took up his post. Certainly his son Hugh Maximilian Elliot fought and died in Madras - but Hugh the father? Not sure. 86.175.73.221 (talk) 20:02, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
