Hi everyone!

Does anyone know anything about George Elliot Candy 1899-1916
I'm researching my family history and would love to know more about the photograph I have attached.

Anything will help.
Thank you

He should be on the 1901 & 1911 census hopefully with his parents and any siblings.

Can you find his birth registration?

MILLIEPEDE,
I have particular interest in the ELLIOT family surname root for this man and have followed the public online tree of  original poster Philip CANDY,  back to Dorset UK in my attempt to connect with his tree.
Harriet Elliot
1800–1865
Birth 30 NOV 1800 • Lyme Roger, Dorset, England [perhaps this town is Lyme Regis?]
Death 25 MAR 1865 • Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia

My GF also had forenames George Elliot.

Not unusually, along his line there are a variety of spelling variations particularly ELLIOT and ELLIOTT making it a bit difficult to establish which clan might be the earlier root or whether they are ordinary mis-spellings in the Public Records.  Perhaps Philip CANDY has some family clues from his extensive research?

George Elliot Candy
1899–1916
Birth JUL 1899 • Collingwood, Victoria, Australia
Death 19 JUL 1916 • Possieres, France
