George Samuel Elliott

Sir George Samuel Elliott (1847 – 4 May 1925) was a British businessman and politician.

Career Born in Islington, he was educated at the City of London School and entered business as a refreshment contractor with premises at Upper Street. Originally a member of the Liberal-backed Progressive Party, he was re-elected in 1892 and 1895. 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. He was later described as an "Independent Progressive", and at the 1901 election was returned unopposed, taking the Moderate whip. He stood at the 1904 council election as an independent, but was defeated.

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. He was knighted in 1917.

Personal life He married Elizabeth Frances Hellier, Upottery, Devon and the couple had six children.
